New Delhi, Delhi, India | 30th January 2025: Vida Heydari Contemporary is excited to present ‘Terraform’, artist M. Pravat’s new solo exhibition with a series of artworks that have been presented for the first time in New Delhi.
By bringing together a diverse range of materials—bricks, stone, pigment, dust, paintings, LED lights, and found objects—Pravat presents a body of work that probes into the interrelationships, recesses, and tensions between our built urban environment, and the natural world.
His sculptures and installations, which appear as fragmented reminders of the urban landscape, evoke a sense of being under perpetual construction—a limbo of incomplete transformation that has increasingly become characteristic of all metropolitan cities today. Each artwork, with its detailedly laid out network of materials, serves as a cartographic guide to a world that is now replete with relentless geo-engineering, large-scale development projects, and climate emergency.
M. Pravat’s ‘Terraform’ is an invitation to reflect upon a crisis that also extends into the larger biodiversity on our planet. It is an attempt to recentre our sensibilities, and actions to ensure a sustainable future for us all.
The exhibition will preview on Saturday, 18 January 2025, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at STIR Gallery, Delhi – 2, North Drive, DLF, Chattarpur Farms. It will run through 25 January 2025. The artist will be present at the exhibition preview.
