City of Spectacle

http://www.tamarindart.com

City of Spectacle is coming to an end soon, if you havent seen it, its time you pay a visit to tamarindart gallery. This installtion has 3 tall structures on which the artist kaushik mukhopadyay creates a city of Mumbai which is not reachable to common man on 2 pillars and the third one contains the real life trash of mumbai. It is painted in hot pink candy enamel with many kinetic movements which keep moving on the top. One can go up the ladders for a closer look or just look up and see the contents from right under through the glass sink which is full a water. The creativity is good. But one must check the piece in person, as it will gone very soon.
