Gallery XXL presents ‘The Desired Scaffold’ works of Indian artists Akash Joshi, Anikesa Dhing, Ashima Raizada, Bhuwal Prasad, Harisha Chennangod, Harnoor Juneja, Kapil Jangid, Sabiha Dohadwala and Vikrant Kano, The Desired Scaffold is a proposition for unearthing desires that are hidden, barely understood or spoken about, but exist and continue to unfurl in our engagement with architectures we inhabit. At the same time, the exhibition highlights those desired acts of building, maintenance, repair — of shelters, offices, homes — that rarely find an articulation, and through the display asks one central question:

What kind of acts are required to create structures we desire to live in? Structures we work within, spaces we cook food in response to our hunger, architectures that become spaces for finding solace as moments of public, private, personal – sometimes secluded from one another, intermingle as desires within and outside unfurl.
