Cosmoscow 2026

We are excited to debut at Cosmoscow 2026 in Moscow, Russia, with What Remains — a presentation bringing together four Indian artists: Jit Chowdhury, KM Khushboo, Ram Dongre, and Sunil Yadav.

Every material carries a history it did not choose. Every image holds within it the residue of what it once was. Every pattern conceals a structure older than the eye that perceives it.

What Remains brings together four Indian artists whose practices are built on this premise — that making and unmaking are the same gesture, and that what survives the process is where meaning lives. The presentation proposes that the most urgent contemporary art emerging from India today is not loud, decorative, or easily categorised. It is patient, material, and philosophically exact.

Jit Chowdhury works between sholapith and natural indigo, two materials steeped in Bengali craft history, using them to draw out a long-running Bengali-Japanese exchange in art and design. His pieces stay rooted in the layered architecture of South Kolkata even as they reach toward a wider material conversation.

KM Khushboo turns to slow, hand-intensive printmaking — etching, dry point, woodcut — to explore the line between material impermanence and mortality. Her recent prints strip the figure away entirely, leaving only the elemental traces of mud, water, and fire.

Ram Dongre paints in oil, then erases his own paintings layer by layer to expose what he sees as their essence — treating erasure not as loss but as a way of uncovering what was always there. The gesture echoes the idol-making trade he grew up around, where images are made only to be dissolved.

Sunil Yadav builds intricate geometric systems from maps, architectural fragments, and found forms, using measured grids and notation to surface the hidden patterns embedded in ordinary environments. His work treats geometry as both a formal language and a way of revealing what usually goes unseen.
