her works.

An Unforeseen Situation is on display at Dallas Contemporary, Texas until December 21, 2015.

HOUSE OF CARDS
Think of Indian art, and M. F. Husain is probably one of the first names that comes to mind. The maestro’s son, Owais Husain, who has exhibited in America, Europe and Asia, has collaborated with Singapore’s LASALLE College of the Arts to create a photographic project, House Of Cards. This ‘house’, being built by Husain and the college students over the course of five months, will bring the theme of identity to life.

House Of Cards will be presented at Project Space, LASALLE College, Singapore from January 30 to February 18, 2016.

NASREEN MOHAMEDI: WAITING IS A PART OF INTENSE LIVING
For aficionados of Indian modernism, Nasreen Mohamedi is one of the many revered names. Two hundred and seven of the late creator’s artworks, including drawings, collages, photographs and oil on canvas paintings are on show in the Spanish capital for international audiences to laud and learn from.

Nasreen Mohamedi: Waiting Is A Part Of Intense Living is on display at the Reina Sofia museum, Madrid until January 11, 2016.
