Day 3

Tuesday

4 Feb 2014

Today we did a performing art where we had to use our body as an object to interact with people. Our performance was a demonstration reflection. Our concept was about adjusting to a new city in our case it is Bangalore. Each and every thing is new to us and some things are confusing too. So to help us and give us company in this situation our friends always try to remain close and make us feel comfortable. In all these situations we trust each other and support our friends. 
So we were standing on a three inch wall which is very uncomfortable position for us. On that we were holding each other’s hands to feel comfortable. And this was showing our trust and support for each other.

We were standing on that wall for 50 minutes. It was a nice experience. Everybody was staring at us curiously as why we were standing their? What are we doing exactly? What if you fall down and so on……. But decided to keep mum and just smile slightly.

So as we were not replying they got more excited started asking same questions again and again and started discussing between them that what was happening. Some of them were just standing in front us and staring. Some of them started making jokes and making us laughs. Everybody who was coming in front of us made his own logic that what we were doing. I heard more than 10 different perspective about which I never thought though. 
It was nice experience.

Day 2

Tuesday

28 – Jan - 2014

Today firstly we had discussion about what is art, how it important for us and how it gives us satisfaction. Then we talked about what is installation. Then we moved to Aiweiwei’s movie- Aiweiwei Never Sorry. It was really interesting movie. It inspired me. He is Chinese contemporary artist, active in sculpture, installation, photography, film and social, political and cultural criticism. I liked his art works as well as openly working for people.

Then we had discussion and debate on these topics-

1.     Who is artist?

2.     Is it essential to be an activist?

3.     Who is not artist?

We had divided into three group and given a topic. Firstly we among us and we had a debate. It was really fun. Every group performed well. Because we couldn’t come up one final idea while debating we clash had among us only. While working as team we have been together. But everybody has their own perspective. I think it happens. But that doesn’t mean that we were not worked as a group.

Finally we came up with these answers-

1-    An individual who consciously express themselves with a motive, medium and methodology.

2-    No. An artist is not essential to be an artist but an activist is an artist.

3-    A non artist is a person who does not express with an intension of aesthetical expression. 

I am a lonly corner...

“I am a lonely corner. It was a time when I was newly constructed. Everybody takes care of me. I was always clean. That time I used to tease others because of my cleanlyness. I was very proud. Every day my friends-leaves, baby plants even dogs came to meet and we used to chat and play together. I was so happy. But as time passed everything got dissolved and I remained alone.
No one could even recognize me. I almost lost my existence. My friend also rarely came to meet me. Sometimes a leaf came but wind also took him away. Now I have only garbage and garbage. Is getting old bad? Or is being a corner on the road bad?
Because now people being conscious about corners. While decoration they think about me. They also put some lights, nice corner pieces to make my existence better. They started taking my benefit. I know that because of humongous increase in population we don’t have that much space to live also. So u started using me. But still what about rode side corners? they are always dirty and disgusting. Did anyone think about my feelings? Anybody spit on me, pee on me. Is this use of my Existence? Did you saw even rode side corners from other developed countries? That’s the main difference between our country and others. They are vary conscious about their country as well as their responsibility,and because of that they are always different and developed as compared to India. So if we have to move forward we have to start considering little things like me. Then and then only we can move forward.”
