SUMMARY:Nasreen Mohamedi: Autobiography of a Line
DESCRIPTION:Autobiography of a Line: the photographs\, prints and paper cutouts of Nasreen Mohamedi \nImagination fills a space with spirit and meaning. Reciprocally\, that space then evokes feeling\, memory\, thought – giving it form. \nTaking from Gaston Bachelard’s ‘The Poetics of Space’\, 1958 – an interrogation into the meaning of spaces which preoccupy poetry (both intimate spaces and those of wide expansion) – this exhibition attempts to trace the reception of the poetic image in Nasreen Mohamedi’s photographs\, prints and paper cut outs. In these works\, the artist employed ideas around space as well as demonstrating the importance to her practice of experimentation with line and form. \nWhether or not Mohamedi saw herself as a photographer\, her practice can be linked by what\, at times\, might seem like an  impulse into opening up a multiplicity of photographic worlds of her own making. Whilst sometimes this involved focusing on the built environment\, the artist concurrently took another approach towards a minimalist aesthetics of constructing or documenting abstracted photographic geometries. \nNasreen Mohamedi (1937 – 1990) \nMohamedi was born in Karachi\, raised in Bombay and completed her studies in London in Paris. The artist began teaching at Maharaja Sayajirao University\, Baroda in 1972. Whilst primarily remembered today for her works on paper\, there has been increasing scholarly interest in her photographic work. Since Mohamedi never exhibited these works in her lifetime\, exhibitions of her photography have been very rare\, and ‘Autobiography of a Line’ marks a first in Indian exhibition history.

SUMMARY:This Ground\, Plus: Khotachi Wadi in Design Context
DESCRIPTION:This design-led exhibition focuses on the history of Khotachi Wadi\, located in south Mumbai’s Girgaum\, through disciplines as diverse as architecture\, culinary histories\, speculative art\, early street photography and product design. In keeping with the mandate of C&L Design exhibitions\, a wealth of archival material has been brought into conversation with contemporary design objects. \nCurated by academic and local resident André Baptista\, along with Chatterjee & Lal\, the exhibition brings together the voices and stories of generations of residents at a moment of unique importance to the area. The distinctiveness of Khotachi Wadi is threatened by the erasure of its 19th and early 20th century bungalows and chawls. These structures – and the worlds created in and around them – have offered unique design solutions for centuries. \nKhotachi Wadi is a heritage precinct where built structures and cultural elements trace their antiquity to the early 19th century. Girgaum\, as an early historical village\, would have been filled with orchards and groves – memories preserved in the names of streets\, by-lanes\, and wadis. As part of the city’s expansion\, East Indian Christians\, who originally inhabited the Islands of Bombay and surrounding areas\, moved into the locality establishing an enclave complete with distinctive bungalows derivative of Portuguese Colonial Architecture mixed with regional sensibilities. \n  \nAbout the curators: \nAndré Baptista is a lecturer and consultant in Ancient Indian History\, Culture & Archaeology. His research interests include prehistory\, man-land relationships\, landscape evolution on the one hand and colonial history\, urban development and shaping of socio-cultural spaces on the other. He has a doctorate in Landscape and Environmental Archaeology from the Deccan College Postgraduate and Research Institute\, Pune\, India. André has represented Universities as well as the Archaeological Survey of India at a number of explorations and excavations at sites ranging from the prehistoric to the early medieval. \nHe is Visiting Faculty for Archaeology at the Kamla Raheja Vidynidhi Institute of Architecture and Environmental Studies (KRVIA)\, Juhu. In November 2017 he was appointed Assistant Editor of Man and Environment\, the biannual journal of the Indian Society for Prehistoric and Quaternary Studies (ISPQS)\, Pune. He has co-edited the 2017 felicitation volume ‘Rethinking the Past: A Tribute to Prof. V.N. Misra’ published by ISPQS. He was a consultant\, and a contributing author of the subsection on “Heritage” for Spenta Multimedia’s “The Endless City: Mumbai”\, a book by the District Planning Committee\, Collector Office\, Mumbai Suburban District. His forthcoming edited volume “Adaptations Across Antiquity: Tracing Quaternary Environments and Prehistoric Cultural Responses” is currently in press. Most recently\, he served as a Research Consultant for the Maritime History Society\, Western Naval Command. \n\nC&L Design is engaged with design histories and\, through these histories\, with contemporary design. As part of Chatterjee & Lal\, it draws on a two decade long exhibition history that has often focussed on the intersection of art and design.

SUMMARY:Arshi Irshad Ahmadzai: Qissah-e Kabul
DESCRIPTION:Chatterjee & Lal announces Arshi Irshad Ahmadzai’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, Qissah-e Kabul. \nThe paintings are inspired by the architecture\, gardens\, poetry\, and court paintings that flourished in the Mughal court at Kabul; they are representative of the era’s cosmopolitanism\, with the coming together of multiple aesthetic influences. \nThe journey of these works tell a story of their own. \nThe works in this series were all painted in 2021 when the artist was living in Afghanistan with her husband and his family. The exhibition comprises those works that she was able to rescue while fleeing Kabul after the Taliban’s siege of the capital. Ahmadzai managed to find safe passage out of the country through an Indian emergency evacuation mission. Despite her escape requiring her to pack up in a hurry\, she was able to fold these fabric works and fit them into a small rucksack. \nWhilst leaving Kabul\, the artist felt compelled to destroy over a hundred figurative artworks\, which\, if found on her person by the Taliban\, would have put her in extreme danger. As the artist says\, “The remaining works in this exhibition are relics\, for they are all that remain of a better past. These relics are my companions\, for they have travelled the same journey that I have. These companions are witnesses\, for they are those who have seen exactly what I have seen.”
