For decades, Daniel Buren has worked with colour, light and space; creating works that respond directly to the architecture around them. In this installation, transparent coloured surfaces transform light into shifting projections and shadows, allowing the surrounding space to become part of the work itself.

Encountering this work in Jaipur brings to mind the coloured glass windows and doors of the Hawa Mahal, The City Palace, and many old havelis across the city, where light and colour have long shaped the experience of architecture and atmosphere.
As sunlight moves through stained glass, interiors continuously shift through reflection, colour and shadow, much like Buren’s intervention here.

‘Padmanabh Singh and Noelle Kadar are at the forefront of a cultural effort to invigorate public interest in contemporary art in Jaipur, India.’

The Brooklyn Rail

‘The Jaipur Centre for Art is the primary venue for their ambitious vision, which includes supporting creativity and innovation amongst art practitioners as well as celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Jaipur. Recently, Singh and Kadar joined Guggenheim President Emerita Jennifer Stockman and Rail Consulting Editor Joachim Pissarro to discuss the unique history of arts patronage in Jaipur, the importance of color to the city and its culture, and their exhibition now on view, Annotations of Colour.’

Julio Le Parc (Mendoza, 1928) is a key figure in kinetic and contemporary art, known for works that explore movement, colour, and perception. Soon opening a major retrospective at the Tate in June.

Série 13 n°13-5 (1970) uses repeated bands of colour to create rhythm and optical shift, changing as the viewer moves. Its stripes echo the flowing lines of Jaipur’s stripes; different traditions linked through movement and pattern.

Last May, Doyel Joshi and Neil Ghose Balser (How Are You Feeling Studio) installated 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴, a site specific work at Mubarak Mahal, as part of ‘IN (DIA)logue’, in collaboration with .art at

The installation unfolds as a suspended field of reclaimed fabric flowers, paying homage to the boldness of summer blooms at their peak; those brief, vivid bursts of colour that appear almost defiant in the heat.

Subodh Gupta’s 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 (2022) examines time through the meeting of disparate forms and histories.

Known for working with found objects, often drawn from stainless steel utensils used in Indian kitchens, Gupta extends this language here by bringing together a column and partial base derived from an ancient Greek temple with a life-sized dinosaur bone, reproduced in fibreglass. The juxtaposition places architectural history alongside prehistoric remains, collapsing distinctions between the constructed and the organic, and prompting a reconsideration of how time and material are understood.

Curated by Peter Nagy the exhibition remains deliberately open-ended, bringing together varied material explorations that move between the personal and the monumental.

Visitors move through the exhibition at their own pace; pausing to read, compare works, and return to specific pieces. Many spend time in front of individual works, often revisiting them to consider colour, text, and material more closely. The display supports this kind
of focused, self-directed viewing.

Within the expanse of Jaigarh Fort, the Vijaygarh structure stands with a layered past; believed to have served as an ammunition storehouse, before falling into long silence. Today, it reopens not as a relic, but as a site of renewed attention.

With The Sculpture Park at Jaigarh, this space is re-engaged through contemporary practice. Works unfold against weathered walls and vaulted volumes, where the weight of history meets the immediacy of artistic inquiry.

On World Heritage Day, this dialogue feels particularly resonant. The act of placing contemporary sculpture within Vijaygarh is not only about display, but about continuity; of use, of memory, of cultural relevance. It is a reminder that such sites remain active participants in the present, carrying forward their histories while accommodating new forms of expression.

A surface that draws you in and holds you at a distance, 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘥-𝘊𝘰𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘴 navigates the tension between touch and absence. Through wood, velvet and glue, Anita Dube builds a work that feels both intimate and unresolved; lingering somewhere between material presence and emotional void.

Juhikadevi Bhanjdeo’s 𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘜𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘥 as quiet accumulations of time.

Constructed from her own garments and stitched by her mother, these fabric forms hold traces of intimacy, distance, and change. Each layer reads like a personal archive,where memory shifts from the domestic into something spatial, almost geological.

An exploration of fragmented space and open-ended narrative, Lost in a World Made Up by Another Person (2023) presents a series of drawings where image, structure, and storytelling remain deliberately unresolved. Through shifts in scale, layering, and medium, the work resists a fixed reading, instead inviting the viewer to move through its visual logic.
