Backstage story: 7 rickshaw guys where asked to be in tight skin colour chaddi but they refused so they wore check lungies so the artist too preferred to wear a white lungi. not sure the stones were sterilized or not?


Pakistani Show rating: *********
artist curating a show always has a double edge.

Atul show:
clever works, enjoyed the local humor layering as usual, but still the risk factor was not there. As usual too many reference which i personally enjoyed and like the aspect him being local not so much global. But i dont know was it necessary to have shutters in canvas? I would like him to just cross the border and he being a very intelligent artist i am sure he can.

weather report: very nice total spring getting hot.
