Modern Art Gallery sedulously brings together artists hailing from different directions of the country to present to you a curation that we call “Landscape In Flux”. The idea of how landscapes and architecture is perceived from an artist’s glasses has been a journey that has made us conscious not just of how versatility of our culture is sometimes an undefeatable muse, but also that architecture in itself is an art that psychologically influences and moulds an artist’s perception of the world how an artist conceives the world.

Are we all cut from the same cloth? If so, what is the fabric of our lives that once remained connected, how cognizant are we that the self is enmeshed, interlinked, without distinction, without discrimination in the universal fabric? This project attempts to address these questions and also trace them back to the literal, yet complex metaphor of weaving and our alienation from the art form that gestures towards creation itself, in our entanglement with the processes of capital and industrialized modes of production. The conundrum: If making is only labor, then what do we make of our maker? The exhibition explores the precious embroidered artworks, paintings, drawings and performances by Artist Seema Kohli. Venue: CCA Building, Bikaner House

It's an incredible story of how a thread changed the destiny of Mirzapur's women. The Mughal emperor Akbar, known to be a connoisseur of beautiful things, had an exceptionally particular fondness for carpets and decided to bring the finest Persian artists and weavers to India five centuries ago. During that journey, when they reached Gopiganj, a small town in modern Uttar Pradesh, their caravan was attacked by bandits. The weavers that survived that slaughter took shelter in villages around that area, making Mirzapur the Mecca of carpet weaving. The show will have 60 photos - mostly black and white but some colour.
