Built to celebrate 25 years of Independent India, curator Roobina Karode notes how the building designed by architect Raj Rewal was years in the making. The landmarks include the Inter State Bus Terminal, New Delhi Municipal Council Building and the Lalit Kala Akademi. Part of a larger exhibition titled “Stretched Terrains — A String of Seven Exhibitions”, the showcase juxtaposes architecture and art. “These artists were important in setting new trajectories in modern Indian art. “There is reverence and irreverence when you work with your past,” notes Karode, who rather successfully builds a narrative that transcends genres and generations.
