The exhibition moves through a provocative series of themes, ranging from Edo-period views of Japan’s famed Tōkaidō Road to Raghubir Singh’s photographic essay on the ubiquitous Ambassador car in India.

A Different Order is a two person exhibition and gallery talk that traces two different constructs of utopia as seen in India– the Western modernist city of Chandigarh built in the 1950s under Le Corbusier, and the Maha Kumbh Mela in Allahabad which takes place every 12 years and can involve up to 40 million pilgrims. This sculptural, filmic, and photographic exhibition by Nandita Raman and Kay Walkowiak explores the concepts of failed utopia and the yearning for one.

In the second part of this sequential, two-part exhibition, LOVE AIDS RIOT SEX 2 presents works from 1995 to the present. As the nature of the AIDS epidemic has changed, so has the artwork which addresses the disease. Sunil Gupta’s work from Sun City is included alongside works by Ei Arakawa, Ryan Brewer, AA Bronson, Elmgreen & Dragset, General Idea, Ono Ludwig, Piotr Nathan, Irina Popova, Hunter Reynolds, Wolfgang Tillmans, and others. These contemporary works tend to be more reserved, biographical— and international— than the works spanning the first era of the crisis, 1987 to 1995.
