Curated by art historian and archaeologist Anica Mann as an India Art Fair Parallel, the exhibition reflects Method’s ethos of celebrating innovation and emerging talent. “For a commercial art gallery to bring a coffin into an exhibition is a hard sell, but at Method, we want to encourage artists to go beyond what is conventional.
