Celebrating four years of APRE Art House.

Four years of exhibitions, intensives, conversations, research, experiments, and the kind of programming we set out to build from the beginning.

We have moved spaces. We have grown. We have changed in ways we could not have anticipated. But through it all, what has stayed with us is the community that showed up.

Artists who trusted us with their work. Curators and collaborators who believed in an idea and helped us shape it. Patrons, collectors, friends of the gallery, and so many of you who kept coming back, supporting us, challenging us, and growing with us.

Over four years, APRE has grown beyond the conventional gallery model, building an evolving ecosystem around contemporary art through exhibitions, performance, research, writing, fellowships, grants, and experimental platforms for dialogue and exchange. Much of this has been about creating spaces that did not yet exist, and supporting practices that deserve greater visibility, critical attention, and sustained engagement.

As we enter our fifth year, our ambition is to continue building an institution that is rigorous in its thinking, experimental in its approach, and expansive in its reach, while contributing meaningfully to the evolving cultural landscape of South Asia and beyond.

Thank you for being part of these four years. Genuinely.

As part of CORPUS Nights, Stina AldΓ©n’s 𝘍𝘭𝘰π˜₯ was presented simultaneously at Shift Gallery, Glasgow, and APRE Art House, Mumbai, creating a shared performance across two cities. Curated by Paula GarcΓ­a.

A seated figure faced 35 glass cups filled with blood and the instruction: β€œPOUR THE BLOOD OVER ME.” As the audience chose whether and how to participate, Flod became an encounter with vulnerability, empathy, consent, and aggression.

Stina AldΓ©n is a Swedish artist based in Glasgow, working across analogue photography, performance, sculpture, and text. Their practice explores otherness, gender, body-image, heritage, and traditions.

Through sustained physical negotiation with bricks as both material and metaphor, the work traces the burdens carried by the body over time, where breath becomes measure and endurance a form of resistance.

Anuraj Rajendran is an interdisciplinary artist working across contemporary dance, site-specific performance, film, and community-based practice. Rooted in questions of migration, patriarchy, and intergenerational experience, his work approaches the body as an archive of memory and a site for resistance, relationality, and transformation.

As part of CORPUS Nights- APRE's platform for performance and live art Aparna Ashok presented The 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘒𝘯𝘡 π˜ͺ𝘯 𝘡𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘦, a durational work in which she photocopied her own face repeatedly over the course of two hours. Curated by Paula Garcia.

The act produced fragmented and distorted impressions that accumulated as attempts at recognition. Through repetition, endurance, and a deliberately bureaucratic process, the performance reflected on the pressure to define, document, and authenticate the self and what remains when the body resists the systems designed to contain it.

Aparna Ashok is a Chennai-based performance artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans performance, self-portrait photography, sculptural installation, and film. Her work examines the body within structures of bureaucracy, cultural expectation, gendered behaviour, and labour.

Bringing together contemporary practices that consider gender through the body, identity, desire and cultural memory, the exhibition brings together diverse approaches to the ways gender is experienced, embodied and represented.

Beyond the Binary brings practices into dialogue within a broader contemporary discourse on identity and belonging.
