Please join us for the preview of Cosmic Calls, a solo exhibition by Jitish Kallat.

Where do we exist when the notion of space itself is contingent? How do we situate ourselves when place, once anchored in land, history, and a sense of belonging, is rendered provisional and suspended?

Jitish Kallat (b. 1974, Mumbai) reimagines Pushkin House as a control room for planetary reflection, where signals crisscross skyward and inward. Through sustained research-based inquiry, his practice traverses space and time, the terrestrial and the cosmic, borders and identities. This gesture recalls the universalist and speculative spirit of Russian Cosmism, where scientific thought, spiritual inquiry, and a vision of humanity’s place in the cosmos converge.

Curated by Denis Maksimov and grounded in Pushkin House’s Discourse programme, Cosmic Calls offers nuanced perspectives on the Eurasian region’s political and historical legacies by setting a constellation of site-specific interventions and five speculative drawings into dialogue.
