Fieldnotes: tomorrow was here yesterday

Conceived as an extended collaboration between the artist and the curator, this exhibition at Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum is meant to engage with the museum’s collection, architecture and library. A 120-part sculpture is painstakingly created to appear like real bamboo scaffolding.

The show, by Jitish Kallat, revisits the recent history of the museum’s revival and evokes Mumbai’s socio-economic development. In another part of the exhibition, the evocations of mythical sculptural animals devouring each other draw on ideas of survival and sustenance.
