It is time for the exhibition we have been waiting for. Unpacking the Studio celebrates the
Jehangir Sabavala Bequest with a walkthrough of the show at the Jehangir
Nicholson Gallery.
The exhibition has a unique theme
where the curator, Ranjit Hoskote will walk us with a story that journeys the
life of Unpacking the Studio.
The exhibition
infact captures Sabavala's journey within the evolving history of the
studio, the influences on his work, his experiments with art both pre and
post colonial and dramatizes the relationship between the studio, the gallery,
and the academy in Sabavala's career.
It is perhaps the first of its kind exhibition
and is made possible because of the
generous contributions from friends and artistes who have opened their hearts
and archives and parted with precious paintings, sketchbooks, diaries, drawings.
The memorabilia includes rare pictures lovingly shot by Sabavala’s wife Shirin
Sabavala.
A preview for the dear
ones may be held closer to the public event which is scheduled for an October
release over fragrant tea and conversations.
