Blog as space for alternative cultural critique:
Creative collaborative/collective practices
Space is a resource, plain and simple. We all need it sometimes and in most contexts it is contested who and for what it will be used. In contemporary art and cultural production it is generally one element needed to facilitate community development and building (space for gathering). It can also be a site of production and distribution of cultural work and products (space for making/showing/sharing). Read the rest of this entry »

“We learn a place and how to visualize spatial relationships, as children, on foot and with imagination.
Place and the scale of space must be measured against our bodies and their capabilities.”
Gary Snyder (“Blue Mountains Constantly Walking”)
Tactical media is situational, ephemeral and self-terminating. It encourages the use of any media that will engage a particular social-political context in order to create intervention. This class will explore the history and production of interventionist performance projects that address critical social, political or personal issues or situations in diverse sites.

There was a slip from a friend and fellow artist recently. He mentioned that the women neglect their career for their children. Then he realized that I am around and tried to go around, but it was so obvious. Is that true? It still resonate in me…For me the motherhood had made me even more dedicated and committed to my art. I have a completely new perspective on every aspect of my art work. The break that I took while I was pregnant, gave me a chance to see everything from a distance and clear things up in my head. Do we deserve such stigmatization? It still resonates in me: can you be a mother and a good artist?
