In 2005, the Asia Society and the Queens Museum of Art in New York presented an exhibition of Indian artists, most of whom were mid-career, titled “Edge of Desire: Recent Art in India.” To complement this exhibition, the latter venue presented a show of 28 South-Asian-American artists, all of whom worked in the Northeastern United States, most of them living in New York. This exhibition, titled “Fatal Love: South Asian American Art Now,” spanned painting, photography and web-based work, but the geographic boundaries were expanded and dissolved to include works by artists of Pakistani, Trinidadian and Bangladeshi descent.
