At sunset, on the river ban, Krishna
Loved her for the last time and left...
That night in her husband’s arms, Radha felt
So dead that he asked, What is wrong,
Do you mind my kisses, love? And she said,
No, not at all, but thought, What is
It to the corpse if the maggots nip?

Sakina’s mother was dead. She had died right in front of Sirajuddin’s eyes. But where was Sakina? As she lay dying, Sakina’s mother had urged him, ‘Don’t worry about me. Just grab Sakina and run!’
…
His mind was bursting with questions, but there were no answers. He needed sympathy, but everyone around him needed it too. He wanted to cry, but couldn’t; his tears had dried up.
…
The doctor glanced at the body lying on the stretcher. He felt a pulse and, pointing at the window, told Sirajuddin, ‘Open It!’
With lifeless hands she slowly undid the knot of her waistband and lowered her shalwar.
‘She’s alive! My daughter is alive!’ Old Sirajuddin screamed with unbounded joy.
The Doctor broke into a cold sweat.

“In this, it’s true: that which makes iron
Makes roses makes saints makes rapists
Makes the decay of a tooth and a nation.” Charles Bukowski in “in this –”.
Slow Rot withers into the Grotesque, an artistic style that warps reality to expose its more sinister aspects. The grotesque is a confrontation with the frailty of selfhood rather than just a reflection of the monstrous.
Slow Rot opens at Method Delhi on Saturday, 9th May 2026.

In Points of Cont(act), Sehaj Malik attempts to construct a system in which the body is both instrument and particle. It is an active agent entering, testing, and reconfiguring the space it inhabits. The exhibition unfolds as a set of charged interactions between organism and architecture, gesture and surface, instruction and exhaustion.
At its core is To the Cosmos and Back in 29 Steps, an instruction-based durational work that operates as both score and diagram. Borrowing the language of user manuals, industrial protocols, and scientific diagrams, I wish to frame the gallery space as a chamber set-up, through which the body travels like a mass in motion. The work proposes a simple but disorienting premise - that the body, by moving, curves the space around it. Each step becomes an attempt to register that impact. It will mark force, friction, interference, and return.

An intimate evening with @heyyditty around her latest record KĀLĪ unfolded at @methoddelhi . From vinyl listening and screenings to conversations with @akshitagarud / @two_odd_ , @venus_maku and @akanksha070 , the space moved gently between sound, visuals, and dialogue.
Thank you to everyone who came through, until the next one!

Points of Cont(act), the title of this exhibition is applied literally to this series of work, where the body is pressed against in the gesso-ed skin of the canvas. Plotted on a gridwork of rectangles, imprints of the ear, the hands, the eyes, become not just memory carriers of an absent body but disjointed entities revealed beneath the stickers. A curious anthropomorphism takes place here, of the imprint itself? The canvas?
Sense organs isolated from the body as tools of perception, accessories and bodies at once.

What was your original (sur)face — the one you had before your parents gave birth to you?
Can you rise above it?
You can make the sound of two hands clapping,
now what is the sound of one hand?
a finger?
a phalange?
if you listen closely, does it breathe?

[(OO)] Field glasses to the (w)hole - 60” x 30” / acrylic, charcoal and spray paint on canvas
Field glasses to the (w)hole focuses on how we perceive the world around us. Our sense of vision is our keyhole to the world and we always attempt to capture, register, record what our sight reveals to us. In this work, sight and touch; eyes and hands come in conjunction. A world glimpsed, is understood by touch. A reality seen is shaped by contact. The body itself becomes the camera that the mind experiences the world through.
