Day 1 was Pooja Sood in Conversation with Alexis Bhagat:
“20 Questions” was an enlightening discussion on sound art. With more and more artists and musicians exploring the meaning of sound, a new language is being understood and redefined. The understanding of sound beyond music is leading to new experiments embodying new auditory sensibilities and awareness.
Day 2 was Barbara London in Conversation with William Kentridge:
A very interesting session about art practices across the globe.William Kentrige is a South African artist best known for his prints, drawings, and animated films. These are constructed by filming a drawing, making erasures and changes, and filming it again. He continues this process meticulously, giving each change to the drawing a quarter of a second to two seconds’ screen time. A single drawing will be altered and filmed this way until the end of a scene. These palimpsest like drawings are later displayed along with the films as finished pieces of art.
