The exhibition Kolkata: Run in the Alley offers a unique vision of the metropolis Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta) in India. The project stems from the art in residence project CARF, which in recent years brought a series of Netherlands-based artists to Kolkata to explore the city under the guidance of Bengal artists. During the work periods, the visiting and Bengal artists befriended each other. In Marres, they make a joint exhibition where they merge techniques, disciplines, and perspectives to create an intensely layered image of the city, in which bamboo scaffolding scenography, dokra-inspired bronze sculptures, cardboard-pulp furniture, agitprop posters, accordion books, scrolls, tapestries and drawings are interwoven. Additionally, works by master’s such as Binode Bihari Mukherjee, Sarbari Roy Choudhury, Ganesh Haloi, Somnath Hore and others, as well as historical pieces by the fashion designer Riten Mozumdar are on display. Most the Indian artists are exhibiting in the Netherlands for the first time.
