The Serpentine Gallery in London England is currently exhibiting a collection of contemporary Indian art, Indian Highway. Included in the exhibition is "found object" artist Subodh Gupta. Using cooking pots and pans and other assorted objects, Gupta creates sensational installations that form a complex visual language that remixes cultural legacy and meaning.

When I was growing up a bronze plate from India rested on wooden legs in our living room. An ever present pot of tea could be found resting on its metallic surface. These everyday objects take on a deep meaning constructed from endless memories. Gupta's transformation of these simple objects,  with our deep attachments to them, into monuments of glittering perspective is a good example of the global contemporary art movement's growing value. From China to India, exciting new forms of artistic expression are providing visual points of reflection for meaningful cross cultural dialogue.
