A Time for Farewells  brings together diverse artistic practices to interrogate  the idea of future as it evolved from the Industrial Revolution; it surveys this idea’s cultural journey to foreground newer artistic visions and redefine existing frameworks. This exhibition is a part of Premjish Achari’s ongoing curatorial practice through which he examines the future of institutions and practices by bringing together a constellation of artistic visions. These diverse and sometimes contradictory approaches lay bare fault-lines in our existing paradigm and break set moulds of thinking about history, modernity, future, etc., thereby giving us the opportunity to synthesise newer timely futuristic visions that critically examine the contemporary political turbulence, ecological crisis and rapidly evolving technological shifts.This exhibition presents the cultural history of the idea of future since modernity in order to catalyse innovative approaches that demystify existing methodological frames, analytical strategies, and narrative devices used to assess art, labour, ecological crisis, history, gender and sexuality.
