A new project is exploring the importance of the small and intimate in art as well as exhibition spaces

Featuring the works of young artists and architects from India, Pakistan, China, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Hungary, the exhibition has been organised by authority of small objects, a Delhi-based collaborative project.

The exhibition organised by the group authority of small objects

After having seen art exhibitions in museums and galleries built specifically for the purpose, how would it be to see it within the walls of someone’s lived space? If, for example, a one-bedroom house were to host an exhibition, how would it change the viewing experience for visitors, as they walk in through what is someone’s front door, and wend their way through the various rooms, in order to look at the art? Would it make the viewing experience more intimate? These are some of the questions that one is confronted with at a group show titled “Geometries of Desire and Decay”. Featuring the works of young artists and architects from India, Pakistan, China, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Hungary, the exhibition has been organised by authority of small objects, a Delhi-based collaborative project.
