Ranjit Kandalgaonkar lives and works in Mumbai and his art practice primarily comprises a lens directed at the urban context of cities. Most of the art projects are research-intensive - Some of these long term projects attempt to unlock historical and contemporary data through placing the work in the context of an unseen social history. Another decade-long project named ‘Modelled Recycled Systems’ records ship-breaking practices and studies invisible shipping infrastructures. Awards & grants include Majlis Visual Arts Fellowship, UDRI Fellowship, Leverhulme Artist Residency, Harvard University SAI Artist Residency, The Wellcome Trust and a Gasworks Artist Residency. His works have been showcased at Bergen Assembly, Colomboscope, Savvy Contemporary, Bonniers Konsthall, s.a.L.E Docks as well as numerous other galleries locally and overseas.
