This group exhibition gets its name from the scientific word for Mayflies—creatures whose lives span anywhere between thirty minutes to twenty-four hours. In collaboration with Gallery XXL, Tarq’s latest show is “a meditation on memory, permanence and transience”, featuring creations by Amitabh Kumar, Daku, Nibha Sikander, Philippe Calia, Sajid Wajid Shaikh, and Vishwa Shroff. The artworks on display touch upon themes of loss, memory, the temporality of time, the cyclical nature of life and death and the fleetingness of it all—not very different from the mayflies.
