Illustrated A5 cards (20 units)
" What is ART ? "
This question has been answered in hundreds of ways since forever.
This project showcases 20 definitions of art and it's meaning in 10 seemingly counter intuitive pairs.
The intention of this project is to evoke one to critically evaluate the context and space in which popular definitions of art take shape and traverse deeply in and out of that context to appreciate the breadth at which such definitions shape our idea of what art truly is!
These are some handpicked definitions from popular artists, politicians, writers, scientists, creators and even fictional characters through the years, arranged in deliberate pairs and illustrated in a uniform visual language and made available in the form of handy A5 cards sets to facilitate debate and discussions around the topic.
