Indian art scene on the rise

India is about to launch its first-ever art biennial. Set to debut in 2012, the Kochi-Muziris Biennale will take place in the port city of Kochi on the southwest coast of India, and in neighbouring Muziris, known for its rich historical heritage that reaches back to the days when it was a centre for spice trading with the Roman Empire. The news follows the announcement of India's first dedicated pavilion at the Venice Biennale and reports of the continuing growth of New Dehli's India Art Summit fair.
