Defence Colony's gallery row is pulling a late night shift on March 17. If you routinely complain about how exhibitions are never open on evenings or Sundays, this is your chance! Ten of the neighbourhood’s galleries will stay open until 9pm – which, in exhibit terms, is practically a party.
If you’re planning to cover as many as possible, start with Vadehra Art Gallery, which is near the Lajpat Nagar Metro Station. Most will fall along a line to its right. Then, take a ride to Latitude 28, from where you can walk to PHOTOINK and GALLERYSKYE. From there, Pristine Contemporary and GalleryXXL are another short while away, opposite each other. And then, Defence Colony market is right there to end the night.
Three shows are opening fresh on the night
Akar Prakar unveils Ekāgratā, a solo by the late SH Raza.
Latitude 28 opens What Form Retains by Mayur Gupta.
Over at Vadehra Art Gallery, Ranbir Kaleka's Circle of Stories. All three run until April 17.
For those who've been procrastinating on shows
GALLERYSKE's Sudarshan Shetty show, A Breath Held Long, literally closes on Tuesday itself, so that's a deadline in the most actual sense. Two others are verging towards last-chance territory.
Method's RITES by Alida Sun is on until March 22.
Gallery XXL's In Memory of a Totem by Jumu wraps March 21, placing both in last-chance territory.
If you're in less of a rush
PHOTOINK has Ketaki Sheth's Flashback until March 28.
Pristine Contemporary is showing Nature Shankar's Go Easy On Me Baby...It's My First Time Too (a title that lives in my head rent-free) until April 3.
Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke has CK Rajan's Rajan One until April 25.
Kalakaar rounds things out with the only group show, Forms of Modernity, on until March 31.
No tickets! Just wander from gallery to gallery, with a glass of something if you're lucky, or other glasses at the excellent bars of Defence Colony market (personally, I recommend Genre to wrap up a night of creativity).
