Over the past few days I haven’t posted any stories… Congratulations Dr Rennie Joyy 💐👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻 A memorable opening at Anand Gallery, where Mamta Singhania has created one of the nicest private gallery spaces in Delhi It was great to spend some valuable time with art connoisseur and @kochibiennale advisory council member @shefalivarma.official at her ambitious art site 😊 Always heartening to meet Nidhi Jain; simple and grounded as well as Rajneesh and family, where one of my favourite works is on view. Met wonderful people from Ladakh-exciting to hear they’re planning a Biennale. Wow. Meaningful conversations around projects at Gallery STIR with Amit Gupta. A beautiful long conversation at Ragini Gallery; truly special. Yesterday’s conversation there and today’s inauguration felt complete. A wonderful moderated conversation with Gigi Scaria, led by Ina Puri. If you’re in Delhi, please do visit Travancore Palace-from tomorrow, 11 am onwards. Only for three days. Tomorrow: Mathrubhumi Literature Festival of Letters and Loka Kerala Sabha in Thiruvananthapuram. Looking forward to the brunch gathering (12–3 pm, 4th Feb), Rohit Chawla’s portraits of artists and art-world friends, a curated material- and textile-based show, and Shimul Javeri’s travelling pavilion project. I’d love for you to see my pavilion too 🙌🏾 More meetings ahead—before heading to Jitish Kallat at Bikaner House and Kiran Nadar Museum of Art on the 4th at 6 pm for the Tyeb Mehta opening 🙌🏾 More travel soon. Lots more ahead. Lots of love.
