MEASURE | DECIPHER

TARQ is delighted to present Pratap Morey’s first solo exhibition - ‘measure | decipher.’ Comprising several new works, ‘measure | decipher’ seeks to examine the artist’s preoccupation with changing geographies of urban spaces. The artist uses a combination of digital photographic images, archival prints, architectural drawings and engravings in his intricate paper works. Each work delves into the overarching themes of construction, redevelopment and displacement — which are immediate concerns in a contemporary urban environment.

According to architect Kaiwan Mehta, "This space we exist (and live) in between insistent occupation of a projected fantasy and the hurried denial of the everyday reality produces citizens that have lost a sense of measure - the measure of what it means to participate in human worlds, life and death, reflections and arguments, files and books, sleepwalking and reading - we start living in delirious worlds! Morey’s landscapes are an attempt to decipher these delirious worlds and cities we are all living in." A catalogue with an accompanying text by Mehta will be available at the exhibition.
