As London Gallery Weekend approaches, Frieze’s year-round gallery space at No.9 Cork Street will bring two leading Indian galleries to the centre of Mayfair. Running from 5th–28th June, exhibitions by Project 88 and Vadehra Art Gallery continue a programme that has increasingly amplified South Asian voices and perspectives in recent seasons.
The presentations arrive as distinct but complementary propositions: one rooted in contemporary material and ecological thinking, the other tracing the legacy of one of India’s most influential modernist painters.
Project 88 makes its No.9 Cork Street debut with Treeish, a thematic group exhibition curated by Prajna Desai. Bringing together works by Claire Baker, Mahesh Baliga, Neha Choksi, Goutam Ghosh, Trupti Patel and Tejal Shah, the exhibition borrows its poetic framework from the writings of British tree scientist Harriet Rix and explores the quiet force and agency of trees.
