You walk into a museum and it’s empty. Then you are told that the absence of artworks isn’t as important as the presence of an exhibition set-up. It’s a giant structure constructed with medium-density fibre board (MDF). As workers are busy giving finishing touches to the MDF and straddling through layers of bubble wrap, we get why this show at the Piramal Museum of Art is called Making Art: Materials and Technology. Everything is an ongoing process and there is no finished product.

The contrast between artistic styles will also be explained through the display of artworks by leading artists like Tyeb Mehta and FN Souza. Pics/Sayyed Sameer Abedi
