Hooray! I'm off to Delhi Art Fair!!
15/01/2018
Jumping about with glee that I'm off to India in February to schmooze the India Art Fair, and best of all meet my collaborator Roshan Chhabria. I'm too excited to make a prioper plan. All that's obsessing me at the moment is how best to get to Heathrow for 6.30 am without travelling all night or staying sleeplessly in a cheap hotel. How well do you have to know someone before you can ask to be put up at their house? is friend of a friend ok? someone you bumped into outside the Nizmuddin mosque (my planned Delhi quartering). My sons look on in horror.
The aim of this trip is to experiment with drawing with Roshan, visit his studio in Baroda, set up an exhibition or two or ten, visit Varanesi and see a really big stepwell. I am allowing myself to imagine meeting many of the artists I've been following on social media - Nihkil Chopra, Kartik Sood, Sumeshawr Shetty etc etc and hoping I can smuggle myself into the opening night. This is unlikely to happen as I invariably bottle out of thrusting myself forward.
