‘When is Space?’ intends to investigate the contemporary modes and methods of architecture and space making practices in India. Through provocations that emerge from ideas of Sawai Jai Singh and Charles Correa, the exhibition invites artists and architects to respond through spatial interventions within JKK.

What does it take for space to happen? Can mathematical logics be mobilised to (re)invent form and space? What happens when established built-form and landscape typologies are interrogated and transformed? Can there be an urban form that can afford the multiplicity of the collective? ‘When is Space?’ positions these inquiries at the centre of this exhibition, by bringing together multiple and diverse responses, conceived as one large project.

Wall As a Public Space
“To read public space only as a spatial condition, as a matter of square footage, zoning, or physical access, is to miss half the picture.”
—Reshma Esther Thomas

Reshma Esther Thomas examines how Hyderabad’s flyover pillars, painted with Cheriyal-style murals under the GHMC’s ‘City Art Scape’ initiative, reveal the paradox of managed public space. What appears to be beautification is actually cultural assertion in the wake of the 2014 bifurcation, bureaucratising a surface that once belonged to those without institutional power.

The Map That Was Never Yours
“If publicness is reduced to what is legally accessible, then these landscapes were never public to begin with.”
