Experimenter presents The cage broke, and I found the horizon, Rathin Barman’s solo at Experimenter Outpost at Alipore Museum, Kolkata. The exhibition brings together a new body of work, spanning sculptures and drawings, seen together for the first time in the city. The title of the exhibition alludes to the duality of confinement and liberation, while also situating the works within the history of one of Asia’s largest prisons, the erstwhile Alipore Jail, now the Alipore Museum. This site housed many prominent Indian freedom fighters during the independence movement and bears witness to a time that marked several unprecedented forced and economic migrations—a central and longstanding enquiry in Barman’s practice.
