What: Artist Atul Dodiya’s latest oeuvre, 7000 Museums: A Project For The Republic Of India, consists of 50 playful interventions, which include eight-poem panels, eight sculptural assemblages in cabinets, nine oil paintings and 30 watercolour artworks. Through these, he refers to the defining moments of history, politics, art and culture along with the semantics of museums and their displays. The artist spent nearly a year working on the exhibits. The exhibition is a continuation of the Dr Bhau Daji Lad City Museum’s curatorial series: Engaging Traditions, which encourages contemporary artists to engage with the museum’s history and its existing collection.
