PROJECT 88

When the wind blows BMP Building, Colaba 11.30 AM A title adopted from a 1982 graphic novel by Raymod Briggs sets the tone for artist Prajakta Potnis&rsquo; show. Domestic objects &mdash; table fans, chopping boards and synthetic packaging material &mdash; and even parts of appliances become the items that Potnis plays with. A cauliflower, then, becomes a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion, inside a microwave unit. Dare we say we have piqued your curiosity enough?
GALLERY MASKARA

Portraits of the self 3rd Pasta Lane, Colaba 12.15 PM Curator and gallerist Abhay Maskara presents the works of Max Streicher, a theologist and sculptor from Toronto along with Baroda based art historian and painter Parag Sonarghare. Questioning notions of gender and identity, this exhibition on the masculine succeeds a former one centred around the female form.
CHEMOULD PRESCOTT ROAD
<img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2016/jan/Chemould-Prescott-Road.jpg" alt="" /> Sightings Queens Mansion, G Talwatkar Marg, Fort 7.15 PM It&rsquo;s been five years after his acclaimed solo exhibitions were shown in the city, and Jitish Kallat has returned with an exhibition of new works. The exhibition boasts of drawings, sculptures, photo-pieces and video. Neural networks, sacred geometries, a meeting of wind and fire, images of the moon are just some of the thematic clues to egg on your curiosity.
GALERIE MIRCHANDANI + STEINREUCKE
<img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2016/jan/Galerie.jpg" alt="" />
LEVEL Sunny House, behind Taj Mahal Hotel 6.15 PM Tanya Goel&rsquo;s works look like a series of codes which resemble a grid, which in fact use pigments made from construction material. Fascinated by urban construction sites, Goel has pulverized materials to make her pastel inks for her abstract works. The show, which opened last month , is representative of Goel&rsquo;s painstaking process.
LAKEREEN
<img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2016/jan/Lakeeren.jpg" alt="" /> 
Analysis and Association &ndash; Analogies of Forms Grants Building, Arthur Bunder Road, 4 PM Going around in circles, but not metaphorically. German artist Alke Reeh uses the circle pattern as a symbol against religious and ethnic borders. Right from a China cup to a cupola, Reeh uses this simple, but powerful, shape to make you look at the world through her eyes.
Sakshi Gallery

60/60 Grants Building, Arthur Bunder Road 4.45 PM Photographer Pablo Bartholomew and his many muses &mdash; painters, filmmakers, actors, writers and poets &mdash; are part of this stunning visual homage. Bartholomew has excavated his archives from the 70s and 80s to present three bodies of work &mdash; Outside In: A Tale of 3 Cities (2007), Bombay: Chronicles of a Past Life (2011), and the Calcutta Diaries (2012). The suite could be his last archival dive.
Adversary Grants Building, Arthur Bunder Road 5.30 PM
<img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2016/jan/Chatterjee.jpg" alt="" /> Sahej Rahal&rsquo;s second solo exhibition has been much-anticipate, especially after his acclaimed installation in the last edition of the Kochi Muziris Biennale. The show includes a suite of works on paper, sculpture, photography and a major new video work. Rahal&rsquo;s work is a super-mix of futuristic imagery, science fiction, myth and archaeology.
