A
multi-dimensional art project that looks to initiate the public display
of art
works begins in the Capital today. In Context: Public. Art.Ecology
focuses on
social interventions in the public sphere, with themes ranging from
weather
patterns and the effects of climate change to examining the
significance of
trees in the context of road zones. Artists from India, Germany, Japan
and USA
have prepared the works during a six-week residency with Khoj Studio.
“Art has
the power to overcome all barriers, and such kind of alternative art
practices
are an extension of that. These also help artists in working better
with the
public as art isn’t for a certain class. It has to be taken to a larger
platform,” says Pooja Sood, director, Khoj International Artists’
Association,
which is the project organizer.
