The exhibition appropriately titled ‘Re-visioning Materiality’ brings together Gigi Scaria, Vibha Galhotra, Srinivasa Prasad, Kausik Mukhopadhyay, Chinmoy Pramanik and Verma, and urges them to push the envelope, reflecting on societal concerns.

In a respectable corner thousands of clocks click asynchronously in a striking red building, in a creation titled Many Times. Upcoming artist Vibha Galhotra’s take on thousands of construction sites in the capital has satirical undertones. “Coming from Chandigarh, the metro seems quite busy and bizarre. The rapid development in Gurgaon and the city is confounding,” explains Galhotra.

Her creation doesn’t spare any construction activity, even when it is being done to improve city living, like the DMRC, which has currently dug up most of Delhi’s jam-packed arterial roads. “In the present scenario construction includes everything. The erratic timing pertains to the officious nature of people,” says Galhotra, 29, who is based in Delhi and dabbles in different mediums — photography, filmmaking and painting.

Galhotra makes no qualms about the fact that she cherry-picked the artists. “The theme required reinterpretation of the present surroundings and Gigi, Shiv and Chinmoy are famous for their contemporary style,” she smiles.
