The title of the new exhibition opening today at New Delhi’s Nature Morte gallery, Land Of No Horizon, suggests an endless vista—which could be a terrifying and intensely liberating prospect at once. And the four artists participating in the show seem to aim at inducing this precise combination of unease and excitement.

Each of them has curated independent projects, borne out of individual concerns and artistic practices, but also keeping in mind an overall synergy among all the works. All four artists—Rathin Barman, Adip Dutta, Sanchayan Ghosh and Prabhakar Pachpute—have worked extensively with the Kolkata-based Experimenter gallery, known for promoting young conceptual artists (Experimenter is co-presenting the show at Nature Morte). Engaging with their art requires a commitment that is as much cerebral as it is visual.
