Order of Magnitude marks Jitish Kallat’s first major solo exhibition in West Asia and the Levant. Presenting new works that include paintings, multimedia installations, drawings, and site-specific interventions, the exhibition reflects Kallat’s profound deliberations on the interrelationship between the cosmic and the terrestrial.
Kallat’s oeuvre sits between fluid speculation, precise measurement, and conceptual conjectures producing dynamic forms of image-making. Using abstract, schematic, notational, and representational languages, he engages with different modes of address, seamlessly interlacing the immediate and the cosmic, the telescopic and the microscopic, the past and present. In Order of Magnitude, one finds a contemplation of overarching interconnectivity on the individual, universal, planetary, and extra-terrestrial dimensions.
Jitish Kallat: Order of Magnitude is accompanied by physical and virtual tours, educational and public programs, a newly commissioned text by Amal Khalaf, and artist conversations over the duration of the exhibit.
