In Buddhism and Hinduism, Indra’s net floats over the globe, protectively, revealing interconnectedness of life. It’s an image that seemed ideal for the curator Sandhini Poddar, who was invited to create a special section at Frieze London (Wednesday through Sunday) for lesser-known galleries from around the world.
The image of an earthly net is about inclusion, Ms. Poddar said, but also could been seen as the fragility of connectedness in a world divided by environmental issues and the reality of wars past and present.
