Indian artists to boycott Israeli exhibition...

A group of Indian artists have announced that they will boycott an exhibition of Indian art in Israel next year.

The show is set to open in April 2012 at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, but five prominent artists said this week that they would not take part.

"Deconstructing India" will be Israel's first major exhibition devoted to art from the country and a celebration of the rich cultural links between the two states.

But the show is being threatened before the first paintings have even being mounted on the wall, after activists from the Indian branch of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel launched a campaign to encourage artists to refuse to participate. More...
