Sangram Majumdar — 'Bad Actors' final week

Sangram Majumdar’s “Bad Actors” is a solo exhibition at Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke in Mumbai, and the gallery lists the show dates as March 17 to May 2, 2026. Time Out Mumbai included the exhibition in its May 2026 events guide, describing it as Majumdar’s second solo show at the gallery and pointing readers to the Ballard Estate venue. The presentation centers on paintings and related works that move between blocks of color, sketched marks and faces that appear, dissolve and re-form across the surface. Majumdar’s own website also lists “Bad Actors” in Mumbai for the same March-to-May run. ### Where is the show, exactly? Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke lists the Mumbai address as 101, 1st floor, Commerce House, S.S. Ram Gulam Marg, Ballard Estate, Fort, Mumbai 400001. Time Out Mumbai’s May guide also places the exhibition at Galerie Mirchandani in Commerce House, giving readers a current city-events reference alongside the gallery’s own listing. Commerce House sits in the Ballard Estate area of south Mumbai, a district that houses several galleries and cultural spaces. For visitors, the practical point is that the gallery’s own page is the most direct source for current access details because hours and entry information can change. ### What kind of work is in “Bad Actors”? The gallery’s viewing-room material identifies “Bad Actors 1,” “Bad Actors 2” and “Bad Actors 3” among the works in the exhibition, all dated 2026. The same material describes “Bad Actors 1” as a painting made up of leering, demonic faces, with some forms rendered in outline, some in blocks of color and others left as partial sketches. Time Out Mumbai summarized the show as one built from color blocking, animated forms and sketches. That shorthand matches the imagery visible in the gallery material and on Majumdar’s own website, where works from the exhibition include “A Calculated Certainty,” “A State of Unrest,” “The Informant” and “A Developing Situation.” ### Why has the show drawn attention beyond Mumbai? The University of Washington’s School of Art + Art History + Design highlighted the exhibition in an April 9 post, noting that Vogue India had featured Majumdar’s solo show in Mumbai. The university identifies Majumdar as an associate professor in painting and drawing, linking the exhibition to his academic profile in Seattle as well as his gallery representation in India and New York. Majumdar’s personal website says he lives and works in Seattle, Washington. That biographical detail helps explain why the Mumbai exhibition has circulated through U.S. art-school and artist channels in addition to Indian arts coverage. ### Is this really the “final week” of the exhibition? Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke’s exhibition page says “Bad Actors” runs until May 2, 2026. Time Out Mumbai’s May events page referred to the show as being in its “final week,” but the gallery’s own dated listing is the firmer source on the run of the exhibition. The date discrepancy matters for anyone planning a visit. Gallery schedules, extensions and editorial roundup language do not always align, so the venue’s page is the clearest checkpoint before going. ### What should a visitor check before going? Time Out Mumbai directed readers to the exhibition as part of its monthly events list, while the gallery provided the formal exhibition page and venue address. Together, those sources confirm the show, the artist and the location, but they do not replace a same-day check of opening hours. Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke’s Mumbai listing and Majumdar’s website both identify “Bad Actors” as a March 17-May 2, 2026 exhibition at Commerce House in Ballard Estate. Visitors looking for the next step should use the gallery’s current listing for access details and any updates tied to the close of the show.
