What: IIC presents, an exhibition of photographs by Mala Mukerjee from Kolkata titled ‘Fleeting Footprints of Light’. The photographer presents a mix of colour and abstract compositions – a play with light, exploring the limits of form, colour and texture. Those of you who are familiar with her work will know that her quest has always been to capture the fleeting footprints of light on objects, no matter how ordinary they may be. The works on display on this show are a continuation of that search. “If I were to look back on my long innings as a photographer, I will admit I am most comfortable when I am in a position to let my imagination ramble free and take me to wherever they will.” She enjoys playing with light and exploring the limits of form, colour and texture. The end-product sometimes is surprising, for light is a master painter. Objects get transformed by its magical touch. The artist tries to capture such moments.

What: Nature Morte is pleased to present an exhibition of works at the Frieze Viewing Room by Mona Rai, Manisha Parekh, Bharti Kher and Parul Gupta. The artists from four different generations lend to abstraction in their own ways, looking at making as a meditative and intuitive practice. Often made in iterative series, their works use a linear plane or grid as an organizing principle, establishing their own distinct aesthetics within the realm of minimalism.
