Senior Indian modern artist Manu Parekh wanted Jackfruit to curate the first solo exhibition of his paintings of spirituality, sexuality and Benaras at Art Alive, Gurgaon. Working closely with the artist and the gallery for several years, Jackfruit researched his archives, conducted interviews, commissioned essays and designed the exhibition and the accompanying catalogue. This show became a landmark event for the coherent historicization of his ouevre in the context of the both his artistic interests as well as the history of Indian modernism.
