Weekly planner: 6 events to treat yourself to

Something new

To mark its fifth anniversary, Method is presenting Portrait of Time, featuring 40 artists such as Aniruddh Mehta, Aashim Tyagi, Gargi Chandola, Kashin Patel, Meghna Singh Patpatia, Myles, and Nirvair Rai. “For anyone who has been to Method, the show will conjure up feelings of reminiscence while also evoking something new,” reads the exhibition note. The gallery had opened five years ago with graphic and digital artist Aniruddh Mehta’s first solo exhibition, in which he had chosen to showcase paintings instead of digital art. This time, the artists have responded to the idea of the “portrait”, and taken it forward in their style. At Method, Kala Ghoda, Fort, and Mount Mary, Bandra West, Mumbai, till 29 September.
