ROOM FOR SEEING
Akara Contemporary.
Mumbai, India
‘Room For Seeing’ invites the viewer to inhabit a space where looking, observing and perceiving are central. It’s an invitation to consciously pause and give time to the act of seeing in a more intentional manner. You look, you observe, you reflect and you look again. The works on display offer a myriad experiences and narratives. A sensory treat in which diverse artistic languages cohabit effortlessly.

LOOK
23 MAY – 20 JUNE 2025
It's been over 40 years since the rise of Cinéma du Look, a French film movement from the 80's associated with directors like Leo Carax, Luc Besson, and Jean-Jacques Beineix. Focused on spectacle and irreverence, these films were often accused of choosing style over substance. Instead, they revealed the possibility for style to be substance in its own right. Cinema Du Look went on to permeate the culture, influencing visual culture well beyond film. Decades later, Rajiv Menon Contemporary presents LOOK, an exploration of how an aesthetic movement from one time and place can be reimagined in others. The young artists in LOOK explore questions of style, fantasy, and a heightened sense of atmosphere, but also reveal profound emotional truths. These artists speak to the legacy of cinema du look by seeing style and decadence as a vehicle to explore deeper questions of alienation and pleasure.
