This is his debut solo project in Beijing and the first major solo of any Indian Artist in the People’s Republic of China. Kallat’s work oscillating between the twin codes of pop and agitprop addresses classic themes of survival and the endless narratives of human struggle. In the highly populated city of Mumbai where he lives the enterprise of daily existence is pushed to the extreme and this continually percolates his practice. The exhibition will be split across four distinct rooms such that different bodies of work can be seen separated from each other allowing four or five parallel readings to be assimilated slowly… Below is a short note on some of the works in the show. The show derives its title from one of the central pieces in the project. ’365 Lives’ is a room-scaled photo installation with 365 closely detailed photographs of dented automobiles in the city. In one glimpse the individual pieces appear like visually seductive colour fields; in time they transmogrify into wounds becoming an inventory of daily quakes in urban existence or a seismographic record of a city’s erratic heartbeat registered through this epic chronicle of scarred vehicular surfaces. The heroic scale along with the freight of meaning inscribed in the title is central to the reading of the work. ‘Conditions Apply’ is a seven-part backlit photo-piece made on the flatbed scanner. Displayed in a dark room the large translites in one glance appear like the faces of a waning moon; on closer inspection they turn out to be leftovers of bitten up rotis as if the twin metaphors of deprivation and hope are morphed into one composite image.

The other new feature works great though– when browsing a specific podcast you’ll notice that a new “Get All” button shows up near the title. When you hit that iTunes will automatically download all available episodes of that podcast. Depending on how many are available that might be a pretty big addition to your collection but if you find a really good podcast that you can’t get enough of it’s great to have one-click access to everything out there… This is of course one of the iPhone’s key components and Apple has really made some great improvements to the UI and experience. While we have already seen most of them demonstrated by Jobs and in the commercials there were a few handy new tidbits revealed in this tour.

The IAMM exhibition explores this showing that even where people appear to have adopted European style they still retain some references to their own culture in their choice of fabrics jewellery headdress shoes weapons etc. Similarly it is also clear that influences travelled in every direction and the Europeans were as impressed with elaborate Asian style as Asians were with elegant yet simple European tailoring. The Lafayette photo collection is on loan from the Victoria & Albert Museum London featuring photographs of Asian rulers as well as other influential figures from this region. Photos of Europeans who were pertinent to Asia are also part of the exhibition. The Lafayette studio has one of the oldest histories of any photographic business in the world and the photographs showcased in the IAMM were simply stunning to say the least. Located on level three are the Architecture Gallery the Qurans and Manuscripts Gallery the ttoman Room a reconstructed interior of an ttoman Syrian room dated 1820-1821 AD and a relatively smaller exhibition of artefacts from India. Among them I found a most interesting display of the ‘Genealogy of the Rulers of India’ which was a document in Persian dated 1843 AD… Photos of Europeans who were pertinent to Asia are also part of the exhibition.

Essentially a log showing the names of kings their dates of birth the palaces where they were born the years of coronation deaths places of burial spans of age spans of rule miniatures depicting their portraits names of their brood their ministers etc.
