A Retrospective (1969 – 2014) in Three Chapters
“You Can’t Keep Acid in a Paper Bag” is a three-part retrospective of Nalini Malani, happening for the first time in India that looks at her issue-based practice of the last five decades and attempts to bring to audience the range of her use of material, media and formats. Having been perhaps the most experimental and equally radical in her art making, her retrospective will also bring home some of her installations and international projects that have never been shown before in India.
