This publication is produced on the occasion of retrospective exhibition of Indian artist Nalini Malani at Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi from January to December 2014.
'"You Can’t Keep Acid in a Paper Bag" is a three-part retrospective of Nalini Malani, happening for the first time in India that looks at her issue-based practice of the last five decades and attempts to bring to audience the range of her use of material, media and formats. Having been perhaps the most experimental and equally radical in her art making, her retrospective will also bring home some of her installations and international projects that have never been shown before in India.' - from museum's website
Characteristics of her work have been the gradual movement towards new media, international collaboration and expanding dimensions of the pictorial surface into the surrounding space as ephemeral wall drawing, installation, shadow play, multi projection works and theatre.' - from artist's website
Including plates of art works and an exhaustive biography of Nalini Malani.
