Memory Keepers: On Site at Bikaner House

As part of On Site, an endeavor focused on presenting critical art practices by important South Asian contemporary artists as we embrace a physical return to celebrated cultural institutions such as Bikaner House in New Delhi, Vadehra Art Gallery is thrilled to present Memory Keepers, featuring oil paintings by Atul Dodiya, a comprehensive set of works by Pritzker prize-winning architect B.V. Doshi and a series of new paintings by Arpita Singh. As a joint presentation between Vadehra Art Gallery and Chemould Prescott Road, Shilpa Gupta intervenes minimally and thoughtfully with recently developed works, which delve into distance, mobility and confinement that surfaced through the last year.  

The collaborative enterprise On Site also features The Drawing Salon, which celebrates the ‘line’ as the able-bodied, foundational element that it is, hinged on tenets of choreography and composition that guide conceptual expression and formal experiments. Included in our presentation here, are drawings by artists Atul Dodiya, Arpita Singh, Shilpa Gupta, Sudhir Patwardhan and Benodebehari Mukherjee.
