Body of Evidence, a new contemporary art exhibition curated by Shreya Josh, opens at Objectry, New Delhi, bringing together the work of 11 Delhi-based artists. Running from 10–19 July, the exhibition explores how materials, memories and lived experiences leave lasting traces, inviting visitors to consider the relationship between the body, space and memory through diverse artistic practices.
Exploring the Theme of Traces and Memory
The exhibition takes its title from the idea that every object, surface and body carries evidence of experience. Rather than focusing on a single medium or artistic style, Body of Evidence presents varied approaches to the theme, encouraging viewers to reflect on how personal histories, collective memory and material transformation intersect.
According to the curatorial concept, the exhibition examines the marks left behind by movement, emotion and time. Through painting, sculpture, installation, photography and mixed-media works, the participating artists explore questions of identity, fragility, resilience and presence.
Eleven Artists Present Diverse Practices
The exhibition features works by 11 Delhi-based emerging and established artists whose practices span multiple disciplines.
Participating artists include:
| G. Gurunathan | Rajashree Choudhury |
| Pallavi Paul | Rhea Bakshi |
| Dhiraj Choudhary | Ananya Sharma |
| Prerna Singh | Rohit Jain |
| Shivangi Kalra | Tushar Verma |
| Yashika Sugandh |
Each artist approaches the exhibition’s central theme through a distinct visual language, creating a dialogue between individual experiences and broader social narratives.
Curatorial Vision
Curator Shreya Josh brings together artists whose practices investigate the physical and emotional traces embedded in everyday life. Rather than presenting a single narrative, the exhibition encourages multiple readings, allowing audiences to engage with the artworks through their own experiences.
The exhibition highlights how contemporary artists increasingly work across disciplines, combining traditional materials with experimental processes to create immersive and thought-provoking installations.
Visitor Experience
Visitors can expect an exhibition that combines painting, sculpture, installations and mixed-media works across Objectry’s exhibition spaces.
Highlights include:
- Site-responsive installations
- Contemporary paintings
- Sculptural works
- Mixed-media experiments
- Opportunities for artist interactions during scheduled public programmes
Alongside the exhibition, Objectry will host artist walkthroughs, conversations and collaborative hospitality programmes over the opening weekend, offering audiences opportunities to engage directly with participating artists and the curatorial team.
