Madhukali announces
Annual Omenad Conference 2010
Art as Vehicle of the Intangible
A three day ICH Conference on Art as Vehicle of the Intangible in collaboration with
Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya, Bhopal.
On
31st December 2010 – 2nd January 2011
The papers may address the central issue of artistic expression / creation as vehicle of intangible truths in any three of the following areas.
Context of Art. (Theory) Examination of fundamental concepts and manner / mode of transference.
Language of Art. (Practice) Demonstration of manner by which the intangible is sustained within practice; incorporation of intangible in technique of art-form in question.
Life and Art. The need for enjoyer (the Rasika); discovering intangible in the temporal and material; essence of art vis-a-vis contemporary tastes.
Art in India is believed to be an aesthetic embodiment of social reality determined through canons of philosophy. In the first decade of twenty first century, technology, political systems and media have influenced process and essence of thought itself. Does absence of human interaction (using recorded music instead of live orchestra) still sustain essentials of Indian classical dance? Is the ideal of sublimating artist’s self in his art unreachable? Are abstractions like honesty, duty, envy, disdain more concrete than intangible? Can music or painting express them? How can an art-form be the vehicle of something it can not express? What – if any – is the right way to respond to artistic expression? There are far too many questions than answers.
