ATUL DODIYA, 7000 MUSEUMS : A PROJECT FOR THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA,  DR. BHAU DAJI LAD MUMBAI CITY MUSEUM

DR. BHAU DAJI LAD MUSEE DE LA VILLE DE MUMBAI

The exhibition 7000 Museums is a continuation of the Museum’s curatorial series ‘Engaging Tradition’ which encourages contemporary artists to engage with the Museum’s history and collection. Through his watercolours and oil painting, exhibited in a dialogue with varied conceptual frameworks from the Museum’s collection, Atul Dodiya humorously adresses ideas of local cultural representation as well as the semantics of museums and museum displays. His works also reference historical events from the freedom struggle interrupted by moments of art history.
