This publication contains the study carried out by Juan Guardiola on what he calls Modern India, whose intention was to contribute to the history of the artistic tradition of a little-known country, despite the large number of creators who have become known on the contemporary scene. as a result of the widespread “dienalization” of art. As an exhibition, the project was divided into an introduction and five chronological historical areas where a tour of India's colonial past and global present was proposed based on texts, documentary objects, archival materials and artistic proposals; interpreting the idea of India as a laboratory of creation and cultural transfer on a global scale. Juan Guardiola maintains that this book aims to be a space for reflection on the cultural processes and practices of the Indian imaginary in the symbolic space of the Western territory.
