assorted

items from the past few days.

must begin with the khoj presentation on tuesday. nice enough- but does public art mean working with the 'locals' and the 'children'. what happens to the aesthetic question?

and then chandaverker from bangalore with his art as 'sites of exactitude'. wonderfully articulate and reasonable- but safe work. sometimes, i wished that his theoretical precision was explored in the space of utopian imagination rather than negotiated and compromised by the 'client' - corporate and very rich.

and today on the internet, i found this - technology developed only to keep young people away from certain areas. nana nani and joggers parks in mumbai will stand in line to buy it.
