‘Institutions must carry forward the vision of Shantiniketan’

The Hindu  

To make great art and to imbibe knowledge, it is important for an artist to spend time with not just artists, but also with musicians, theatre artists, film makers, writers and so on, said Bose Krishnamachari, painter, curator, and co-founder of Kochi-Muziris Biennale. Fortunately, I could spend a lot of time later with not just artists or art makers, but musicians, theatre people, film makers, writers. “Self realisation is an important aspect in art, but it’s important to know self as well as others,” said Krishnamachari, citing the example of Shanti Niketan, which he noted was a great example of this vision. Every school should be art schools,” he said citing British artist Bob and Roberta Smith.
