Mansoor Ali is an artist based in Baroda, India. He uses ready-made and found objects such as the chairs in this work, and by altering their pre-conceived configuration, proportion and context, the artist creates
sculptures and installations that draw attention to the various facets of power politics prevalent in India. Mansoor is represented by Gallery Maskara, Mumbai.
Pallavi Paul is an artist based in Mumbai. Her primary interest lies in taking ‘found situations’ and reconfiguring them to present fantastical possibilities. She expresses this concept through drawing, photography, video and sculptural installations. She is represented by Project 88 in Mumbai.
Rathin Barman is an artist based in Tripura, India. He studies how economic and environmental structures in both urban and rural settings have been transformed due to globalization, commenting on a growing dependence on metro areas and the subsequent growth of material consumption in society.
