Artistic Intervention and Dialogical Exchange : A refreshing approach to community-based work.
What is the relationship of art to society? What is the social function of art? How do artists, academics and NPOs situate their practice in a living community? How do they intervene or facilitate an issue that is of concern to all? Is their engagement able to change conditions for the community? This presentation looks at specific case studies in Kyoto and Tokyo of creative innovations arising out of the process and dialogue of interventionist art.
