Mumbai based Gallery BMB presents a group show, entitled ‘Her Work is Never Done – I’ curated by Bose Krishnamachari.

The exhibition features works by a host of talented artists, such as Charmi Gada Shah, Dia Mehta, Aishwarya Laxmi, Alison Byrnes, Leena Kejriwal, Nandini Valli Muthiah, Gitanjali Rao, Blank Noise (facilitated by Jasmeen Patheja), Nisha Ghosh, Poorna Rajpal, Shilpa Chavan, Sonia Jose, and Nivedita Deshpande.

A two-part exhibit, Her work is Never Done, focuses on the works of ‘young and sometimes emergent’ women artists. However, it does not attempt to present a comprehensive or representative selection of female artists practicing in India today. Instead, the show looks to celebrate the rich heterogeneity by showcasing an overview of the diverse pluralism in contemporary practices.

The show brings together the work of a young breed of contemporary artists who are making art in today’s global, politically-charged environment. These are artists who are not afraid to confront the realities of gender-biased socio-cultural mechanisms. They are keen to challenge calcified conventions and subvert stereotypes.

These artists are working in a post-digital environment where new media has effected far-reaching changes in visual perception employ a plethora of styles. Their practice is firmly rooted variously in architecture, graphic design, fashion, mass media and activism, and its stubbornly refused to be boxed into any reductive categories.

Located in the heart of south Mumbai, Gallery BMB presents groundbreaking exhibitions of the very best of international and Indian contemporary art. It has already showcased many international artists of the highest caliber. These international artists, along with outstanding emerging Indian artists, are part of BMB’s dynamic program.

Blurring boundaries between an art space and a commercial gallery venture, BMB houses a unique bookshop with a dedicated reading area and onsite café. Its holistic concept is to be a truly interactive space and act as a cultural hub that connects people from different walks of life with art.
