THRESHOLD ART GALLERY

Established in 1997 by Tunty Chauhan, THRESHOLD ART GALLERY has developed a distinct identity defined by curatorial rigour over trends and sincerity over scale. Over three decades, the gallery has fostered an environment of growth and exchange for emerging and mid-career contemporary voices whose practices are reflective and process-driven, offering sustained engagement with artists’ evolving practices through dialogue, documentation and institutional visibility. THRESHOLD’s commitment to supporting artistic practice as process and not just presentation has shaped its programming collaborating with leading cultural institutions, museums, and foundations; publishing artist monographs and catalogues; and convening talks, symposiums, and residencies, including Mapping Memories, its ongoing travel-residency project. In an art world increasingly organised around spectacle, THRESHOLD offers an alternative: a place of integrity and considered maturity, a platform for blazing new trails by crossing the ‘threshold’ between the known and the possible.

THRESHOLD’s Russia journey began with India Reflections (In artibus Foundation, Moscow, 2023), curated by Tunty Chauhan for collectors Andrey and Ekaterina Terebenin. In 2025, THRESHOLD co-curated Cosmoscow’s special project How the Spirit Becomes Matter, and piloted a residency for artists Anindita Bhattacharya and Sumakshi Singh in collaboration with the Terebenins and the Hermitage Museum. This relationship deepened into Contemporary Art from India — the Hermitage’s first-ever contemporary Indian art exhibition in 260 years, co-curated by Marina Schulz and Tunty Chauhan, on view October 2026. This year, THRESHOLD returns to Cosmoscow with its most robust presentation at the fair to date, including works by two artists from a residency organised by THRESHOLD in collaboration with Cosmoscow, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Suzdal’s MIRA Creative Community, and Dvara (Non-Commercial Organisation): a reflection of our growing conviction that the connection between Indian and Russian audiences of contemporary art is only beginning. 

Artists presented at Cosmoscow 2026: Anindita Bhattacharya, Michal Glikson, Madhukar Mucharla, Pandit Khairnar, Ravikumar Kashi.
