This is the first major solo exhibition in Australia by Delhi-based artist Gigi Scaria and, fittingly, Melbourne, with its strong connections with the Indian community, is the location.
Part of a new generation of Indian artists, Scaria was one of five presented at the inaugural Indian Pavilion, curated by Ranjit Hoskote for the 2011 Venice Biennale. Celebrated for his eloquent and probing photographs and video works that interrogate the onslaught of urban development, dislocation, habitation and time, this exhibition at the Ian Potter Museum of Art extends those ideas with a local inflection.
