We are delighted to announce Prabhakar Pachpute's first institutional solo exhibition to open at the National Gallery of Modern Art (Mumbai) on 11 April 2016.
About
The exhibition consists of site-specific sculptural interventions, shdow effects, and a wall drawing around the perimeter of the dome gallery of the museum. Pachpute’s work is rooted in an investigation of mining labour and the way mining activity effects the natural and human landscape. Combining field research around the world and personal experience (Pachpute comes from a family of miners), with expressive and surreal imagery, the artist creates unexpected visions and encompassing installations. Land itself is under transformation, metamorphosing between different states of use and abandonment. The title, te tolanche dhaga navhate | no, it wasn’t the locust cloud is like an answer to a question, after the transformation of land.
The talks and educational programs are supported by the Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation. Additional support in the talks and educational programs is provided by the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Mumbai. Special thanks to Experimenter, Kolkata.
