Delighted to be showing Vadodara-based sculptor Sojwal Samant’s recent sculptures in our ongoing exhibition, Sculpting Lineages: Women Across Generations. Samant’s practice attends to the overlooked textures of everyday life — a discarded rug, an unfinished task, a pile of dishes —where humour and melancholy, labour and care, intimacy and politics quietly converge.

Curated by Nainvi Vora, Sculpting Lineages: Women Across Generations brings together six artists across generations, tracing affinities and divergences in their approaches to sculpture and proposing alternative ways of thinking about artistic lineage. The participating artists are —
Ira Chaudhuri, Latika Katt, Shambhavi, Sojwal Samant, Radhika Agarwala & Poojan Gupta
The show is on at the gallery until September 26

Nine editions in, Delhi Contemporary Art Week returns with more fervour than ever. Six galleries, Blueprint12, Exhibit320, Gallery Espace, Latitude28, Shrine Empire and Vadehra Art Gallery, come together for one week.

Across presentations and exhibitions, the body becomes a carrier of memory and resistance, and geography turns into something felt as much as mapped, each gallery bringing a distinct body of work shaped by climate, memory, place and identity.

Swipe through for your catalogue to the week: what's on view, who's presenting it, and what to look out for before you walk in.

On view from 31st August to 5th September 2026 at Bikaner House, New Delhi.

Sometimes, when I look back at Espace, I’m struck by how much of what we were drawn to was already quietly unfolding — long before it became part of the larger conversation in Indian art.

We believed in abstraction, sculpture, photography, new media, and above all, in artists whose work genuinely moved us — even when there wasn’t an obvious audience waiting for it.

I don’t often speak about this. I’ve always been more comfortable stepping aside and letting the artists and their work take centre stage, rather than talking about my own journey. And maybe, too, there was a bit of self-doubt in the background — that quiet feeling that one could always have done more, known more, been better.

But I think there comes a point when acknowledging what you’ve built is not self-promotion. It’s simply honesty.

So today, I’m allowing myself a little pride.

Pride in the artists we believed in, the exhibitions we put together, the risks we took, and the ideas we followed simply because they felt right.

Looking back now, after all these years, I feel deeply grateful — and quietly proud — of what Espace has been able to contribute to the story of Indian art.

It has truly been an extraordinary journey.

Snapshots from Saturday’s preview of “Sculpting Lineages” at Gallery Espace.
It was a pleasure to welcome our many friends, artists and visitors through the evening, and to see the exhibition come alive through conversations, encounters and close engagement with the works on view. Our warm thanks to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening memorable.
“Sculpting Lineages”, curated by Nainvi Vora, brings together the works of Ira Chaudhuri, Latika Katt, Shambhavi, Sojwal Samant, Radhika Agarwala and Poojan Gupta, tracing affinities and resonances across three generations of artistic practice.
The exhibition unfolds across all three floors of Gallery Espace and remains on view until September 26.

Getting ready for tomorrow!
Join us at the preview of ‘Sculpting Lineages’, an intergenerational group exhibition curated by Nainvi Vora, bringing together six significant voices in contemporary Indian sculpture. The exhibition places the pioneering practices of Ira Chaudhuri and Latika Katt alongside those of Shambhavi and Sojwal Samant, and the younger generation represented by Radhika Agarwala and Poojan Gupta.
Across generations, their works open up conversations around influence, inheritance, material and form, while complicating familiar narratives of sculpture in India.
We look forward to welcoming you tomorrow at the opening of the exhibition tomorrow at Gallery Espace.

Espace Shelf is proud to present ‘Dehiscence: Pod Studies’ by Chennai-based artist Reha Salvi featuring a series of wood-turned and carved forms inspired by the intricate shapes, textures, and inner structures of seed pods - the ridges of a lotus seed pod, the ribbed interior of a dried Gulmohar pod, etc.
A trained architect and self-taught artist, Salvi works with locally sourced Neem, Teak, Mahogany, and Acacia wood, shaping them on a lathe and finishing them with natural oils, ebonizing, and varying degrees of charring. Reflecting on her creative process, Salvi says, “My practice today is an ongoing attempt to create thoughtful, grounded works that ask how materials hold memory, embody transformation, and reveal the quiet power of nature to consume, renew, and reshape.”

‘Dehiscence: Pod Studies’ opens at Gallery Espace on August 22, together with ‘Sculpting Lineages: Women Across Generations’, curated by Nainvi Vora, and featuring the artists Ira Chaudhuri, Latika Katt, Shambhavi, Sojwal Samant, Radhika Agarwala and Poojan Gupta.

From Anjolie Ela Menon’s cinema poster portraits on wooden chairs to Nataraj Sharma’s large-scale studies of matchbox graphics; Manish Arora’s installations of high-fashion bling to Bharti Kher’s signature bindi work; Rohini Khosla’s pop-culture PVC handbag to Ravinder Reddy’s hyper-stylized sculpted head adorned with a traditional hair ornament; Atul Dodiya’s triptych with stock images of public figures at the Taj Mahal to Ram Rahman’s vivid photograph of an Old Delhi Ramlila procession — “Kitsch Kitsch Hota Hai”, presented by Gallery Espace at the India Habitat Centre in March 2001, was a landmark exhibition that foregrounded, and interrogated the element of kitsch in the contemporary imagination.

“It was a ground-breaking exhibition… one of the first that put together artists working in this genre in different ways,” as Rahman says.

Curated by senior journalist Madhu Jain, Kitsch Kitsch Hota Hai mapped artists operating across categories — from fine art and cinema to street culture — who engaged with mass-produced iconography. By elevating everyday visual ephemera, Kitsch Kitsch Hota Hai permanently expanded the lexicon of Indian contemporary curation.

We asked a simple question: Describe Architectures of the Everyday in one word.
A very reasonable prompt. A very achievable task.
Some people took it as a gentle suggestion.
Some treated “one word” as a conceptual framework.
Some discovered that hyphenation, commas, and dramatic pauses are excellent loopholes.
The result? A collection of one-word answers that bravely wandered into two words, then three, then full-fledged reflections—courtesy of Gigi Scaria, Dattatreya Apte, and friends.
Turns out, Kishor Shinde’s Architectures of the Everyday resists easy description. It is, perhaps, the best description of all. We invite you to come and see the show and find your word that describes it by 14 August.
Watch till the end and tell us: if you had just one word, what would it be? (We’ll be counting. 👀)
