Excerpt from crossing generations: diVERGE, Gallery Chemould, Mumbai, 2003, p 22:
'On a 15 foot-long 'table' [was] placed twelve blue velvet-covered albums containing a selection of photographs, invitation cards, catalogues, price lists, and letters by artists. The albums, placed sequentially around the table, [mentioned] the period they deal with. Chrome-plated nameplates fixed to each album [named] twelve collectors connected with the gallery. In the centre of the table there [were] two electronic display boards with running text.'   

In 2003, Gallery Chemould in Bombay commemorated its fortieth anniversary with an exhibition spanning four generations of Indian artists. The exhibition, titled 'crossing generations: diVERGE,' was co-curated by Geeta Kapur and Chaitanya Sambrani, with over 50 artists' artworks on display at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Bombay.

The curatorial note by Geeta Kapur and Chaitanya Sambrani states: 'diVERGE presents an adventure of crossings and sign-posts them to point in both, and in many, directions at once. It presents smooth and awkward crossovers on unevenly charted routes. We hope to configure artworks to explore what these new meanings might (and might-not, after all) be in what is undoubtedly a most volatile moment for Indian contemporary art.'
