| Venue: Mobile Billboard Art Project |
| Organised by: JSW Foundation |
| Activity: This January, as part of the Mumbai Festival, Jitish Kallat will present a Mobile Billboard Art Project titled
Conditions Apply that will travel through various parts of Mumbai along a prescribed route over seven days. The Mobile Truck carrying the billboard will begin its journey at the Gateway of India. The aim is to take art out of the gallery-museum framework and on to the street and bazaar creating an unexpected collision between the chance viewer and the artwork. The work comprises of a large 10 feet x 20 feet image printed on vinyl and mounted on a large signage truck. This image is made using the childhood inkblot technique of folding paper and letting colours bleed between them.
The two complimentary colours of the National Flag form the massive inkblot in Conditions Apply. The colours, saffron and green, often read symbolically in religious terms, have come into confrontation on various occasions in the recent past despite having co-existed harmoniously for decades. On the billboard the two colours merge and form a large symmetrical butterfly-like pattern. The `central' fold of the inkblot can be read as a metaphor for the axis of governance that needs to tilt neither left, nor right of center to create the much-needed symmetry and harmony in our highly polarized polity. |

| Time: 9.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. |
| Venue: Little Theatre, NCPA |
| Activity: Mumbai is at a critical moment of change, with its landscape, business and culture, being transformed in the face of the many challenges over the last decade. This workshop is an invitation to examine the shifting contours of the ongoing change, and map the direction the city can, will, or ought to take in the future. It would be expected to probe fundamental concerns like the task of urban management. A greater understanding of the different ways of life in the city, and the interconnections between them, can only develop out of a focus on richer description, as is sometimes forgotten that the question of justice is tied to that of efficiency, and that the question of culture is tied to both. Participants include Kumar Ketkar, editor Loksatta, Arvind Adarkar, Architect and activist, Vyayjayanti Rao, anthropologist, Pankaj Joshi, architect and planning consultant |
