mumbai is upgrading
A Digital Exhibition by Aaran Patel and Jeff Nelson
Curatorial Note
Mumbai is Upgrading: three words that have become ubiquitous across the landscape of the Maximum City. They not only represent mega infrastructure projects but also inherently promise the benefits of development, a perpetual theme through each of the last few centuries.
Today, as Mumbai’s urban identity is in flux, many buildings and forgotten spaces stand to be repurposed. Our urban heritage only features loosely and selectively in the official narrative of development.
Artists Aaran Patel and Jeff Nelson have used photographs of a few of these spaces as base layers for digital artworks that seek to conserve elements of the past and develop a landscape of parallel existence.
