Asian Contemporary Artist Solo Exhibition Series Ⅱ
Atul Dodiya—Bombay: Labyrinth/Laboratory
Exhibition
The second entry in the “Asian Contemporary Artist Solo Exhibition Series,” this exhibition of Indian artist Atul Dodiya’s work was curated by the Mumbai-based art critic Ranjit Hoskote. The exhibition explored the keywords “labyrinth” (evoking a sense of fear and danger) and “laboratory” (something that is seemingly filled with hidden possibilities) in the facets of the cities depicted in Dodiya’s artworks. As a model demonstrating the psychological effects of the city in a spatial way, representative artworks since the 1990s were exhibited, along with Dodiya’s latest shutter paintings, gates, and ladders, seemingly transforming the venue into a Mumbai (formerly Bombay) film set.
