Ranjit Kandalgaonkar lives and works in Mumbai and his art practice primarily comprises a lens directed at the urban context of cities. Projects such as ‘cityinflux’, ‘Gentricity’, ‘build/browse’ and ‘Stories of Philanthropic Trusts’ map vulnerability within redevelopment  strategies of urbanisation or record timelines and ‘blindspots’—alternate markers of a city that’s  unraveling. A study of combative histories of reclamation and speculation have led to projects  such as ‘Isles amidst reclamation’ and ‘Seven Isles unclaimed’. Another decade-long project  recording ship-breaking practices at Alang, Gujarat have led to the exhibitions ‘Shipping & the  Shipped’ – showcased at the Bergen Assembly, Art & Research Triennial,2016, ‘Sea Change’- Colomboscope Biennale, 2019 and ‘The Stonebreakers’ at Warehouse421, Abu Dhabi in 2020. Awards & grants include Majlis Visual Arts Fellowship, UDRI Fellowship, Leverhulme Artist  Residency, Harvard University SAI Artist Residency, Atelier Prati Print Residency, Seed Funding Award -Wellcome Trust and a Gasworks/Wellcome Collection Artist Residency  collaboration for which he produced an interactive drawing depicting his research on the  Bombay plague of 1896.
