> Watermans is delighted to bring Building Sight: Curatorial Project by
> the internationally acclaimed Raqs Media Collective to London. This
> work sheds many insights into the condition of urban living not only
> in cities like Delhi but also London and other urban centres.
>
> Cities are building sites. Construction never ends; work is in
> progress. "Building Sight" is a sketch of how a way of thinking about
> a city can be constructed. It is also a conversation with and by
> architects & urbanists, filmmakers & cinematographers, researchers,
> practitioners, editors and designers. Many of them are from Delhi,
> some from Mumbai and Bangalore. Their work anticipates, rather than
> represents, what the response of contemporary art practice to the
> South Asian city can be.
>
> The exhibition has been supported by the GLA and coincides with
> London – wide India Now festival this summer.
>
> The exhibition will be introduced by Jan Lennox, Director of
> Watermans, Ilze Black, Head of New Media Arts and Andrew Dakers, local
> councillor and lead on the Brentford High Street Community Development
> Project.
>
> We look forward to seeing you here
