Project 88 is pleased to present A Forest of Remembrance, Amol K Patil’s second solo exhibition at our gallery space in Mumbai. Patil’s works infuse a radical imaginary of resistance into corporeal encounters, distilling the layered complexities (and erasures) implicit in the making of an urban metropolis. In these works, Patil returns to the relation between transience and permanence in Mumbai’s chawls, thinking through the precarious conditions of migrant labourers. This exhibition is a site-specific excerpt of Patil’s larger project — with the same title — exhibited earlier this year at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), California, marking the artist’s first institutional solo in the US, curated by Victoria Sung, Margot Norton, and Tausif Noor.
