Paying tribute to #KrishnaKalle, an accomplished playback singer in the Hindi and Marathi film industries, on her 83rd birth anniversary today (18/12/1940).
Krishna Kalle was a well-known figure in the music scene, striving for recognition during the era dominated by Lata Mangeshkar. Alongside artists like Suman Kalyanpur, Mubarak Begum, Kamal Barot, and Sharda, she worked hard to make her mark.
Krishna Kalle is remembered for several hit songs from the '60s and early '70s. Her duets, such as 'Meri Hasraton Ki Duniya' with Mohammed Rafi from the film 'Gaal Gulabi Nain Sharabi' (1974), and 'Hume To Maar Diya' with Mahendra Kapoor from 'Hum Kahan Ja Rahe Hain' (1966), remain etched in the memories of old Hindi film song enthusiasts. Her voice graced the soundtracks of notable films like 'Hum Kahan Ja Rahe Hain' (1966), 'Bambai Raat Ki Bahon Mein' (1967), 'Raaz' (1967), 'Naunihal' (1967), 'Shikar' (1968), 'Sati Sulochana' (1969), and 'Gaal Gulabi Nain Sharabi' (1974).
Born in Karwar and raised in Kanpur where her father was stationed, Krishna Kalle absorbed the cultural richness of Hindi and Urdu during her upbringing. At the tender age of 16, she began singing at the Kanpur Radio Station. She gained popularity through her performances at various Yatra music festivals across Uttar Pradesh. In 1957, she received national recognition with youth singing awards from India’s first president, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, and the first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The following year brought her the All India Sugam Sangeet Award's first prize, the K L Sehgal Memorial’s Golden Voice Award, among others. Subsequently, she joined All India Radio in 1960.
Arun Date first noticed her talent in Mumbai and introduced her to the music director Yashwant Dev, which kickstarted her career as a Marathi singer. Active in the Hindi film industry from the 1960s to the 1970s, she lent her voice to over 200 Hindi and 100 Marathi film songs, as well as numerous bhajans, ghazals, and devotional songs. Her collaborations included non-film albums with renowned artists like Manna Dey and Mohammed Rafi.

“Shiryaevo Biennale. Central Russian Zen”
31/08/17–08/10/17
Media preview with exhibition curators: 31/08, 5 p. m.
Exhibition opening: 31/08, 6.30 p. m.
On August 31, 2017, “Shiryaevo Biennale. Central Russian Zen” exhibition will be opened in the National Centre for Contemporary Arts, part of ROSIZO. The project of Samara branch will be the third one on the regional project site of the NCCA in Moscow. The exhibition is a metaphorical reflection on the experience of the oldest active international biennale of contemporary art in Russia, which has been held since 1999 in the ancient Russian village of Shiryaevo on the Volga bank, one of the most beautiful places of the Samara bend surrounded by the Zhiguli Nature Reserve on all sides. The Shiryaevo Biennale was intended and carried out as an international experimental project by famous Russian curators Nelya Korzhova and Roman Korzhov, the founders of the Samara Regional Public Charity Foundation “The Centre for Contemporary Art” with active contribution from Hanns-Michael Rupprechter and the Stuttgart Union of Artists from Germany as well as a group of artists from Kazakhstan headed by Rustam Khalfin.
The exposition will be based on the archive of the biennale; photos, videos, objects and installations from the personal collection of Nelya Korzhova and Roman Korzhov. However, at the same time, the exhibition goes beyond the traditional retrospective and creates an idea of the biennale’s authentic image for the widest audience. The conceptual solution of the exhibition is a large-scale video chronicle of the project, as well as the exhibition hall covered in river sand and stands from quarry stone mined in Shiryaevo for the last 200 years — it is a total installation representing a kind of mental map of Shiryaevo. The exposition gives an opportunity to feel the unique atmosphere of the biennale, reflects the ideas of contemplative and performative nature of the event and becomes a starting point for a conversation about the history of its creation.
The strategy of the Shiryaevo Biennale is aimed at finding new forms of contemporary art communication in social environment. The form of the main biennale project, “creative laboratory” and “nomadic show”, is Nelya Korzhova’s original idea uniting the Eastern concept of nomadism, referring to free movement, wandering, and the Western concept of a “show”, a public presentation. The space for creation display during the “nomadic show” is the entire village of Shiryaevo with the surrounding landscape: the Volga, mountains, mines, lake shore, village houses and streets. As an artistic phenomenon, the “nomadic show” stands closest to mystery play evolving in time and space and changing the experience of those who participate in it. It makes visitors follow a unique route and experience the meditative qualities of the Central Volga landscapes, a kind of “Central Russian Zen” reflecting the biennale’s setting for contemplation, intangibility, emptiness, and absence of any tracks left behind.
The Shiryaevo Biennale offers not only an alternative to the traditional functioning of art within the framework of the “white cube” concept, but also a strategy of independence from the vertical of power in art. Created by “artists for artists” the biennale turned out to be resistant to shocks and succeeded in surviving as a special experience of international co-creation. The condition of artists’ living in the houses of local residents is seen as a way of creating a perfect environment for artistic expression. The main idea of this experiment is to give an artist a chance to start working from scratch without feeling the pressure from his or her established image and the art market technologies.
Today the Shiryaevo Biennale is the best internationally known contemporary art event in the Samara Region. Throughout the years the biennale has hosted artists and curators of special programs from Russia, Kazakhstan, Germany, France, Great Britain, Sweden, Austria, Italy, Lithuania, Estonia, Armenia, Denmark, the USA, the Netherlands, Singapore and Norway.
The exhibition will be accompanied by an educational and performative program both in the building of the Moscow branch of the NCCA and in the city space.
