Faye Fleming and Partner present an exhibition of seven emerging artists from India and Pakistan, juxtaposed with the work of an internationally recognised artist from an earlier generation, Nalini Malani. The exhibition is timed to coincide with Malani’s retrospective at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne.The title of the current exhibition quotes the response of Mahatma Gandhi to the British Governer-General Lord Mountbatten on the day of the vote for Partition of India. Gandhi controversially observed his day of silence. Mountbatten said that he hoped Gandhi would not oppose the Partition, and Gandhi wrote his reply on a scrap of paper, “Have I ever opposed you?”
It features artists Waseem Ahmed (Pakistan), Ambreen Butt (India), Kanishka Raja (India), CK Rajan (India), Rashid Rana
(Pakistan) and Aji VN. (India).
Have I Ever Opposed You, until 22 May, Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke, Mumbai.
