‘Remember Me Until the Winter’: Lives of urban material

Resisting the logic of an ordinary exhibition is ‘Remember Me Until the Winter’. Curated by Gourmoni Das in association with the Dot Line Space Art Foundation, it is not arranged as a sequence of works but a terrain of traces, sounds and surfaces. The building itself shapes the experience; its broken columns and uneven walls intervene in the viewing at Nine Fish Art Gallery in Mumbai’s Great Eastern Mills. “The venue is a collaborator and a sentient interlocutor,” Das says. “Its rusted beams, cracked plaster, and echoing corridors dictated the rhythm of placement.” The show brings together over 20 artists whose works approach memory in many registers: emotional, material, political. “It’s a polyphony of sensibilities orbiting around the idea of memory as unstable matter,” Das explains.
