IN HIS 1889 BOOK Twilight of the Idols, the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche argued that "true experiences" cannot be adequately expressed in words. "Our true experiences are not garrulous," he wrote. "They could not communicate themselves if they wanted to: they lack words. We have already grown beyond whatever we have words for." That last line lends itself to the title of a 2011 work by Delhi-based artist Amitava, currently on display at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Saket (Delhi), as part of twin solo exhibitions: Amitava's If We Knew the Point and Mohan Samant's Magic in the Square. These have been conceptualised by KNMA director and chief curator Roobina Karode and are open to the public till September 30.
