Stretched Terrains: A String of Exhibitions (2017)
Stretched Terrains: A String of Exhibitions (2017)
This booklet accompanied a string of seven uniquely interrelated yet independent exhibitions, collectively titled as ‘Stretched Terrains’. It includes solo exhibitions of three modern masters from the Progressive Artists’ Group: MF Husain (‘Yatra: The Rooted Nomad’), SH Raza (The Black Sun), and FN Souza (Man Grinding his Teeth). Also, part of the sequence is a special exhibition on modern architecture of Delhi, a focused perspective on the Vision Exchange Workshop organised by artist Akbar Padamsee in 1968-69, and a photography exhibition of Parthiv Shah (Sadak.Sarai.Sheher.Basti) of his documentation of MF Husain in early 1990s. Responding and parallel to this rich tapestry of different ingenious pursuits, proposals and vocabularies, is the exhibition ‘Interpositions: Replaying the inventory’ showcasing works of four contemporary artists. The booklet initiates a pleasurable read with the curatorial note by curator of the exhibition Roobina Karode, followed by texts and images from each one of the seven folds of the exhibition.
