Croquis – Performative Art for The People!

Posted by Ajit on April 12, 2007. Comment 

Not to get confused with populism, real popularity seems to be unattainable within the context of contemporary art. By re-injecting the obsolete artistic expression of figure drawing in a performative (institutional) context, we provoke misunderstanding from both ‘conservative and ‘progressive art publics.

CROQUIS contains two levels of production that blend into each other. On a conservative level, we are using a traditional way of learning and producing art (croquis drawing) as an encouraging strategy to operate on a progressive level a performative and participative context of art production.

I found the outtake video from this high-brow art experiment quite whimsical.
