5 events you must catch this weekend

A FINE BALANCE

Latitude 28 is presenting a solo show, What Form Retains, of Vadodara-based sculptor Mayur Kailash Gupta. Through his three-dimensional and relief forms, the artist examines how structure and material discipline continue to inform contemporary abstraction. Gupta extends the idea of metaphysical geometry, present within Indian modernism, into the present moment. “Bronze, stone, wood, and paper pulp operate here as active agents rather than neutral supports,” states the gallery note. The show features both freestanding works and wall-based reliefs, with sculpture becoming a means to look at equilibrium. At Latitude 28, Defence Colony, New Delhi, till 20 April, Monday to Sunday, 11am-7pm.

A NEW OUTPOST

The new Experimenter outpost at Alipore Museum, Kolkata features a solo by Rathin Barman. Titled The Cage Broke, and I Found the Horizon, the exhibition brings to the fore a new body of work, spanning installation, sculpture and drawing. Barman’s work continues to engage with residents of erstwhile homes in North Kolkata, who had migrated to the city after the partition of Bengal. Located in the Old Art Studio, the space carries within it 116-year-old history of the former Alipore Jail, which housed many freedom fighters during the struggle for independence. At the Experimenter Outpost at Alipore Museum, Kolkata, till 14 June, 12-6pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

A RECORD OF A HERITAGE VILLAGE

Gallery 47A's new show, Shadows of Empire, presents the works of two artists – Jit Chowdhury and Kaushal Parikh – who have attempted to reinterpret Mumbai’s Khotachi Wadi, the Portuguese-British heritage village nestled in the city’s heart. As the press note elaborates, the exhibition features Chowdhury's shola-pith and indigo collages that “capture the village’s imperial remnants through a fresh outsider’s gaze” and images and paintings by Parikh that “reveal hidden lives amid the wadi’s fading bungalows.” At 47 A, Khotachiwadi, Mumbai, till 19 April, 11am-7pm (closed on Mondays).
