"Public Art: sifting through the ground" panel discussion at School of Arts & Aesthetics ( SAA ), JNU, New Mehrauli Road > 4pm on 4th November 2011
Time : 4:00 pm
Event Details : School of Arts & Aesthetics presents 'Public Art: sifting through the ground' panel discussion with Ravi Agarwal & Rohan D’Souza, chaired by Shukla Sawant.
The discussion is a part of
PROJECT Y: A Yamuna-Elbe Public Art and Outreach Project
A Public Art Project at the Yamuna in Delhi and the Elbe in Hamburg
Curated by Ravi Agarwal (Delhi) and Till Krause with Nina Kalenbach (Hamburg)
The panel discussion will take an interdisciplinary approach to examine the recent intensification of artistic engagement with environmental concerns; often site specific in nature. This commitment to direct intervention in the landscape has brought with it an attentiveness to the public space as a plural space, eliciting a multiplicity of creative responses and discursive methods. From antagonistic methods, provoking dissensus, to collaborative forms of community initiatives, “public art” as an activist art practice has had a thought provoking trajectory in recent years. The panel brings together artists and environmental activists to discuss some critical and aesthetic concerns around these interventions.
