Catalogue for a solo exhibition held at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, from September 1 - October 28, 2001.

'As a prominent member of the younger generation of Indian artists that came into its own during the 1900s, Shetty's project has been to create a new sculptural language premised on "hybridity". He has attempted to democratise the sculptural image, by mediating "high-art" idioms like heroic sculpture and monumental architecture with "low-art" expressive practices like puppetry, show more toy-making, the fairground game, the movie poster, the comic strip noi, the music video and the TV commercial. As a result of these decisions, Shetty very early moved away from conventional image-making practices and gravitated towards an assemblage-based idiom that is perhaps best described as "collapsible sculpture".'
