The socio-critical, Mumbai-based artist Jitish Kallat is observing the effects arising from the rampant economic growth and social change in India. With his lively, grotesque, partly surreal, partly ironic works he exposes the living conditions of the big city’s inhabitants. This article is about his exhibition The Astronomy of the Subway, which took place in the London gallery Haunch of Venison from February 15th to March 27th, 2010.
