When inflatable green tentacles sprouted out of the fifth floor of the Jindal Mansion on Mumbai’s posh and busy Peddar Road, people had varying reactions. Some thought that aliens had finally decided to pay Earth a visit, while others thought the movie ‘Jurassic Park’ was being shot at the mansion. Little did people know that the green tentacles were part of UK-based artist Filthy Luker’s installation at the Jindal Mansion. Luker wanted to make this piece interactive and open to multiple interpretations.
Most urban artists have a sound in-studio practice along with their public works, yet they are mostly recognised as one or the other. The Magma exhibitions aimed at bridging this gap and also the geography of the city by creating 2 locations for Mumbaikers to visit - one in Town and one in Bandra.
