Date – 1st February to 16th March
Address – Method, Underground D-59, D Block, Block D, Defence Colony, New Delhi, Delhi 110024
Description – After shaking up Bombay’s art scene for five years, Method is kicking the door wide open in Delhi with Fresh Produce 2025—a no-holds-barred celebration of new voices, big ideas, and the kind of energy that reminds you why art matters.
Curated by Anica Mann, this year’s edition doesn’t just mark the opening of Method’s brand-new gallery in Defence Colony—it throws down the gauntlet, staking a claim as Delhi’s freshest space for experimentation and risk-taking in contemporary art.
As an official India Art Fair Parallel event and part of the Young Collectors’ Programme, Fresh Produce 2025 brings together over 30 artists culled from an Open Call that saw a staggering 750+ applications. Expect a deliciously chaotic mix of paintings, sculptures, installations, audio-visual work, and things that don’t fit neatly into categories (and shouldn’t).
This exhibition is a reminder that art is alive, brash, and weirdly beautiful. Method has spent the last five years proving it’s not afraid to get messy, break molds, and give a platform to the young, the bold, and the boundary-pushers. Now, with Fresh Produce hitting Delhi, the stakes are even higher.
Come for the art. Stay for the raw, unfiltered energy of what’s next.

About Method –
“The Revolution introduced me to art, and in turn art introduced me to the Revolution!”
– Albert Einstein
It’s unclear as to whether Einstein was talking about a political or scientific revolution, but it is evident that art and breaking away are intermingled at the core. Method is an introspective and “extrospective” approach to art and the world in which it currently exists. By acknowledging that limitlessness is an inherent characteristic of creativity, we fall beyond the domain of predetermined outcomes not only as artists but as a community. In doing so, we transpose and expand with the movement of art. This cultivates collaboration and experimentation for the purpose of expression as well as Discovery. At present, Method has two physical locations in Mumbai: Kala Ghoda & Bandra and one in Delhi’s Defence Colony.
