This Boat with a Broken Rim
THIS BOAT WITH A BROKEN RIM14 January - 13 February 2021Works by Hesselholdt & Mejlvang, Sudipta Das, Salik Ansari, Chinar Shah Curated by Phalguni Guliani Mumbai Art Room is pleased to present This Boat with a Broken Rim 鈥� the inaugural exhibition of our new nomadic avatar. Supported by the Inlaks India Foundation, Phalguni Guliani takes the helm of the space at Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery to bring together four artists from across international geographies and diverse mediums, each of whom addresses the fragmented realities of border regimes and arbitrary assemblages as experienced by both body and object as they pass through time.
Borrowing its title from the lyrics of a Bengali folk song, the exhibition as described by the curator is an 鈥渙ffering for our times.鈥� Times wherein much like Alamgir鈥檚 verse we find ourselves 鈥� as nations, as peoples, indeed as collective consciousnesses 鈥� as 鈥渂hashailli鈥�: slightly adrift and at sea in the swivels of populist propoaganda and waves of geological change that surround.
Weaving together practices that have concerned themselves through varying lengths of time with the rise of multi-bodied nationalisms and the ultimate futility of the nation state in governing the many countries of the body, the exhibition features works by Chinar Shah, Hesselholdt & Mejlvang, Salik Ansari and Sudipta Das.
