Abstract

This was a speculative artwork for an imaginary urban development and was included alongside some 26 artists, designers, architects from all around the world within the international exhibition 'New Models for Common Ground' at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts, New Delhi in January/February 2014.

This exhibition at IGNCA formed a significant part of the much larger international arts project in Delhi called 'INSERT2014' which was curated by the Raqs Media Collective.

The work was accepted after an international call for speculations from Raqs in the autumn of 2014 from artists, curators, scholars, writers & poets, architects, cultural practitioners, activists, culture researchers, critics, media practitioners and engaged art enthusiasts for the re-­imagination of art spaces and cultural infrastructure in Delhi.
