Resemble Reassemble is an exhibition of installation art by contemporary Pakistani artists at the excellent Devi Art Foundation in Gurgaon.
When it comes to Pakistan, people’s reactions vary from scotch-fuelled, armchair aggression to weepy, smoked-salmon liberalism. This exhibition should help sort that out. These beautiful installations make you feel what the folks across the border feel, and it hurts. There’s a particularly cool piece of work on the first floor – dismantled machine gun parts, suspended alongside surgical instruments. You don’t need to be an intellectual to get the point.
