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.

This is a wonderful exhibition. The imagination that the artist has about Bombay being city of spectacle. It is very well done. It is an amazine installation.
Artist Kaushik Mukhopadhyay has successfully commented upon urban consumer culture and its effects on rapidly changing Indian society in this installation. I felt nostalgic as I climbed up tall, narrow ladders and watched various gizmos making punctuated sounds. While from ground level, watching distorted reflection of elevated cityscape gave impression of a bustling metropolis which one can see but can't reach. Do drop by to see it for yourself if you haven't.
This is an excellent exhibition and it gives a vivid view of Bombay. This is a true master piece.
