Uzma Irfan - Conceptualizer and
Organizer, 'Art
Bengaluru' said, "The Indian art market
currently has both good quality and discerning buyers. Globally,
art is also increasingly becoming an alternate investment option.
In this year's edition of 'Art Bengaluru', we have attempted to
bring together distinguished artists from across the globe, thus
giving people an opportunity to experience, under one roof, the
multitude of art forms available. This festival is not just for the
art aficionados and collectors. We hope to promote the various art
forms and create a greater understanding of art in the city with
this initiative. We also encourage schools to bring in their
students to make the most of this festival."
The
theme for this year's festival is 'Paradigm Shift'. In keeping with
this theme, 'YES BANK Art Bengaluru
2015' hopes to promote a discovery of the arts from a
change-inducing standpoint. Traditionally, art was symbolized by
paintings, classical sculptures and so on. However, over the years,
the very concept of 'Art' has undergone a sea change. With
technological advancements, today we have the opportunity to
embrace a whole new set of art forms - interactive and
immersive installations. The rich interiors
of The Collection, UB
City will also be transformed to complement this year's
theme. The Bentley Mulsanne will be on
display throughout the festival, further increasing the luxury
quotient of the venue.
This
year, the art is being curated by Suresh
Jayaram, an
artist, art historian, arts administrator and curator of national
repute. There will also be curated
walks by Mr. Jayaram, as well as trained art guides,
to give visitors an in-depth and holistic understanding of the
festival and the artworks on display.
To
keep the energy of the festival riding high, there will also be
performances by celebrated
musicians includingTalvin
Singh and Trilok Gurtu. EDM
Nights hosted by International
EDM artists, Project
46 and Omnia are also included in the line-up of
performances.
'YES
BANK Art Bengaluru 2015' will open
on Friday 21
August 2015 with a Grand
Inaugural Ceremony that will include a
state-of-the-art Light/Projection Mapping
show showcasing the history
of art. It will also explain
the idea behind 'Art Bengaluru'. The festival will be on
till 30th August 2015. In order for people to take
back souvenirs from this year's event, 'Art Bengaluru' will also
have a Gift Shop that will provide
memorabilia, including a 'YES BANK Art Bengaluru
2015' Book that completely
documents this memorable festival.
