Recently, I appear to be surrounded by various people: activists, lawyers, software programmers, architects, academics, filmmakers, organisers and producers who have had a recent and intense engagement with the practices and institutions of art. They now make shifting claims on this profession, more often than not hesitating to call themselves artists, often leaving the decision on frameworks for their participation to their promoters and curators. We are now familiar with some of the effects and forms of this ambivalence. But here we are interested in looking at specific personal trajectories, to make the question of aesthetics more felt, and less of a paradigm with "the political".
-Shaina Anand
Gasworks invites you to an afternoon of artists presentations. Our
participants develop and present a chronology (their own timelines) and
journey through their own work and pasts, to reveal an arc of their
engagement with, and expectations from, certain forms of art. But also,
to speak about a passion and ability for aesthetic engagement framed as
a personal enterprise, curiosity, and encounter
