Back in 2013 I was riding around Clifton with a buddy, we were crossing Mohatta Palace and I mentioned I& #39;d never seen it from the inside. My friend says lets check it out. We go there and there is a guy selling tickets, we asked why is there a ticket if it is a public building
he explains there& #39;s some art show going on inside, uska ticket hai. I had no idea about art waghaira, just wanted to see the building, and the ticket was only 25rs or something so we thought ok why not. I walked into the palace and was immediately blown away by how cool it was
The art on display was by @RashidRStudio . The first thing I saw when I entered was this mosaic of Arnold made with small images of Lollywood heroes iirc.
There was a room full of pixelated 3d models like these
There was this room with a cube in between, the cube had smaller cube shapes cut into it with mirrors and a cityscape
There was this room where two planes were being projected onto two different walls with a loud sound of planes flying playing, like they would eventually run into each other
There was so much cool stuff, like this Rothko inspired (I& #39;m assuming) piece made with flesh and blood pictures
This rug that is a mosaic of violence when you look at it closely
This isn& #39;t even a quarter of the total pieces there. The coolest thing I& #39;ve seen in Pakistan, and I happened to see it by chance, and it just cost me 25rs. Fantastic experience. The best part is I didn& #39;t take any pictures, I didn& #39;t know if it would be appropriate
like are you supposed to take pictures at an art show? So I came home and sent an email to the artist talking about how much I loved his show and he sent me a PDF which included all the exhibits, which is where these pictures came from.
This happened 8 years ago so I may have misremembered a thing or two. I hope I get the chance to experience unexpected art like this again, and would love it if we had more art like this in more public places. Accessible and thought provoking.
