New Delhi-based Vadehra Art Gallery is presenting a two-person exhibition by artists from its city: Biraaj Dodiya and Gieve Patel (1940-2023). It’s curated by the London-based Linsey Young, also responsible for the recent acclaimed Tate Britain exhibition ‘Women in Revolt! Art, Activism and the Women’s Movement in the UK 1970-1990’. In this show, Dodiya presents a collection of paintings and vessel-like sculptures that reference the body and its encounters, while Patel’s paintings explore the psycho-social complexities of the individual and communities. 

Jhaveri Contemporary | Muhanned Cader, Lubna Chowdhary, and Seher Shah: ‘Horizons’ | 23 May – 8 June 2025

Mumbai’s Jhaveri Contemporary returns to No.9 Cork Street with Horizons’, a group exhibition featuring Muhanned Cader, Lubna Chowdhary and Seher Shah, who explore variations of line, landscape and the built environment. Despite their different approaches, the three artists share a commitment to making, relying on an engagement with materials and process, and treating the idea of the horizon metaphorically, as a boundary and threshold of knowledge, as well as notions of connection and interdependence.

Rashid Rana: ‘Fractured Moment’  | 23 May – 8 June 2025

Rashid Rana presents a solo exhibition encompassing a bold collection of new works that mobilize the power of an image as both witness and architect, visually encapsulating the artist’s prolonged enquiry into time, space, wholeness and fragmentation. These works are monumental counterparts, engaging with formalism, documentation and abstraction – from grainy warzone surveillance to the overlapping inventories inside warehouses.

Special Event, Saturday 7th June, 11am

Join us at No.9 Cork Street on Saturday 7th June at 11am for a walkthrough of the three exhibitions with Beatriz Cifuentes Feliciano (Assistant Curator of International Art at Tate).
