Probabilities of Occurring

21 December-8 January

For Arunanshu Chowdhury, history is repetitive in nature, giving hints to both rulers and subjects about the tragic designs through which human “progress" is laid out. An ability to capture the historical sense of probabilities goads Chowdhury into painting. As his exhibition ‘Probabilities of Occurring’ would attest, Chowdhury’s images are simultaneously global and local. Bombs fitted with target-sensing appendages for a precise hit, monumental chairs from museums and barber shops, concrete boulders for preventing land erosions, graffiti, broken toys and fire-tending machines are among the themes that constitute Chowdhury’s repertoire. The show is presented by the Guild Art Gallery and Gallery Samukha. Gallery Sumukha, 24/10 BTS Depot Road, Wilson Garden (22292230 ).
