opening / inauguration : Make / Shift

two different ideas of beginning an event are at odds with each other at coomaraswamy hall. from the young architects the ‘opening’ where you meet lots of people, browse the work and schmooze around; from the older guard the more traditional diya lighting, dias and speeches and everyone sitting watching the proceedings on stage.

we spent yesterday trying unsuccessfully to resolve these in coomaraswamy hall. each are fine in their own right but here they were jostling for space.

we have had a fantastic bunch of people working on the exhibition. the space will be perfect when the issue is resolved after the opening when the plastic chairs go back to the warehouse from where they came and the projections gets precedence again.

so please come- one and all... to Coomaraswamy Hall, Prince of Wales Museum. 5.30 is the opening of Make/Shift Mumbai. the exhibition is on till the 12th.
