Bhavna Kakkar, who’s the pressure behind the Latitude 28 Artwork Gallery, and the Take On Artwork Journal, conceptualized and put collectively the primary version of TAKE Pop-Up, in partnership with Anubhav Nath of Ojas Arts. The pop-up was scheduled for the sixteenth and seventeenth of October, 2021 on the lovely 1AQ at Mehrauli.
The main target of the pop-up was Design, House and Trend and two days included stalls of a number of well-known manufacturers in addition to area of interest and boutique manufacturers showcasing distinctive ceramics, artwork collectibles, wearable artwork, jewelry, clothes, house decor, tableware, stationery, skincare, and equipment. Along with these, there have been additionally meals and beverage stalls together with espresso, pies, pizza, gelato and several other stalls serving Indian meals and in addition burgers.
Personally, I used to be excited to be a part of this pop-up for my artwork label KhaosPhilos. Whereas I’ve participated in one exhibit beforehand, TAKE can be the primary time I’d be gaining publicity to an artwork business stalwart and their buddies. Additionally, this was the primary bodily occasion that I participated in after the pandemic. ( Covid19 is now endemic – so it’s secure to say that the pandemic is over – for probably the most half. )
Some stalls had been outdoor and a few had been indoors. There was additionally a curated part the place Bhavna has fastidiously chosen distinctive artwork and ceramic collectibles from numerous artists and displayed them.
Above are some images from the night of fifteenth October once I dropped by for a bit for the setup of the pop-up.
DAY ONE
Day One was sweltering! Who knew October might be THIS sizzling. Every time I obtained an opportunity, I used to be operating into the indoors air-conditioning setup. Fortunately, the gorgeous, huge Banyan tree protected a few of us from the worst of the warmth. It was a Saturday and many of the people I had invited had talked about that they might be dropping in on Sunday.
DAY TWO
Everybody was excited for Day Two! It began of effectively after which midway, the skies obtained tremendous darkish and it began POURING rain! To be sincere, it was a kind of issues that occur in life that you’ll bear in mind ceaselessly. Somebody obtained a speaker and began taking part in music. Somebody put collectively a little bit of meals ( that was nonetheless dry ). Somebody even pulled out a bottle of Vodka and ice! Camaraderie at its best.
Since there was a sign of rain on the forecast, plastic sheets had been made out there for the surface stalls. And the venue was conscious the place water would acquire probably the most and so they laid out mats to make sure individuals might nonetheless stroll.
A few of the pop-up specialists ( people who’ve been collaborating in pop-ups since I used to be a young person ), advised me to hold on and that one by no means is aware of how issues change. Since I used to be tempted to simply wrap up and go house. So, I stayed and BOY had been they proper! The guests who confirmed up after rain had subsided ( and plenty of confirmed up! ), had been there to buy and store they did. It was an unbelievable expertise for me.
Thanks for every part Bhavna and Anubhav and hope to see you quickly! If this primary version was any indication of the facility of artwork stalwarts on this area ( regardless of the rain! ), I’m undoubtedly ALL IN for the second and ALL editions of the TAKE Pop-Up!
All in all, fully price it by way of a studying expertise for a n00b like me. Right here’s to many extra!
