If all art were to be defined, not by its aesthetic value, but for its purpose to the human mind, then Marcel Duchamp would be President. Revolutionising 20th century art, the American-French painter pondered not just on the meaning of electricity and how it could be equated with art, but also on the relevance of motion in a world that was then dominated by the static canvas. Tomorrow, in Kala Ghoda-s Method, renowned self-taught visual artist Sajid Wajid Shaikh attempts a similar experiment.

Named after the SI-derived unit of illuminance and luminous emittance, Lux, an exhibition that goes on until October 27, probes into the relationship between light and human vision. And if you-re familiar with the 30-year-old artist-s work, just the blueprint is enough to tell you that it is unlike anything he has produced before. In fact, the first thing he says is that it-s an experiment into the unknown. With a single installation comprising a locally-sourced plastic magnifying sheet and torches, the show won-t just be a visual treat but will tap into the olfactory and aural senses via a diffuser and music. The sound playing in the gallery will feature musicians Siddharth Vernekar, Zahaan Khan and Kartik Mishra.
