ARTWORK // What happens in Ballard Estate Stays in Ballard Estate (or so you think)


We visited Ballard Estate in Mumbai with the 'curatorial brief' of connecting it with the works of late Shri J G Ballard. Why? because the curator chose so - 'Just!' as they say. Anyways to cut a long story short - we are mighty pleased to have discovered and experienced Ballard in this past week, not just within his works and the estate, but within our experiences in this time - of the city, of stuck up people, of art in galleries and strange curators and even stranger artists. Its all pretty surreal and strange...dystopian if you may. So there - we have a connection. We just made art. (Did I mention the curator thinks this doesnt work and should not be put up on the wall?)
