Lines of Control: Also showing three films by Amar Kanwar: A Season Outside, To Remember and A Night of Prophecy at the Johnson Museum of Art Symposium: Saturday, March 3, 4:00–6:00 pm, and Sunday, March 4, 9:00 am–5:00 pm Ithaca, NY 14853
Tuesdays–Sundays, 10 am–5 pm  
The Lines of Control symposium is organized with the exhibition Lines of Control: Partition as a Productive Space at Cornell University's Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art. The project was initiated by Green Cardamom, a London-based nonprofit arts organization, in 2005, and is an exhibition-led inquiry into the formative and ongoing dilemmas of the nation-state in the modern and contemporary era. It investigates the notion of partition- and border-making practices, where nations are formed through forging new identities, producing new histories, reconfiguring memories, and the patrolling of physical and psychological borders.
Lines of Control: Partition as a Productive Space is on view at the Johnson Museum of Art through April 1, 2012. Co-organized by Green Cardamom and the Johnson Museum, the exhibition is curated by Hammad Nasar, Iftikhar Dadi, and Ellen Avril, with assistance from Nada Raza. Artists represented in the Lines of Control exhibition are Bani Abidi, Francis Alÿs, Sarnath Banerjee, Farida Batool, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Muhanned Cader, Duncan Campbell, Iftikhar Dadi, DAAR, Anita Dube, Taghreed Elsanhouri, Sophie Ernst, Gauri Gill, Shilpa Gupta, Zarina Hashmi, Emily Jacir, Ahsan Jamal, Nadia Kaabi-Linke, Amar Kanwar, Noa Lidor, Mario Mabor, Nalini Malani, Naeem Mohaiemen, Tom Molloy, Rashid Rana, Raqs Media Collective, Jolene Rickard, Hrair Sarkissian, Seher Shah, Surekha, Hajra Waheed, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, and Muhammad Zeeshan
