‘Fieldnotes: tomorrow was here yesterday’ featured works by Jitish Kallat that found profound resonance within the space of the Museum. The artist appropriated the Museum’s architecture and intervened within the display cases creating new readings of the collection and the Museum's history. The idyll of the Museum, which represents the aspirations of the city's founding fathers, stood in sharp contrast to the battle for life that is played out on the city's streets and forms the underlying theme of Kallat's works.The photographic works 'Chlorophyll Park (Mutatis Mutandis)' are further explorations into the ‘urban uncanny’, the asphalt streets appearing to have been overrun by an artificial mutant grass that the artist grew in his studio. These digitally composite photographs evoke a time when urban expansion is halted, and nature exacts its claim on the concrete jungle.
