Jagath Weerasinghe – ‘Museums as a Subaltern Proposition’

Gallery Talk – 15 December 2019 – 11.30am

 

A driving force in the landscapes of Sri Lankan contemporary art in the early 90s, Jagath Weerasinghe, takes a critical look at museums, the directions they take and the purposes they try to fulfil.

 

90 දශකයේ මුල් භාගයේ ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ සමකාලීන කලා දශාවේ ධාවක බලවේගයක් වූ ජගත් වීරසිංහ, කෞතුකාගාර පිළිබඳවත්, ඒවා ගමන් කරන දිශා හා ඒවා සපුරන අභිමතාර්ථ දෙසත් විචාරාත්මක ඇසකින් බලයි.

 

தொண்ணூறுகளில் இலங்கையின் சமகால கலைகளின் உந்துகோலாக இருந்த ஜகத் வீரசிங்க அவர்கள் நூதனசாலைகளின் வகிபாகம், போக்கு மற்றும் அவை நிறைவேற்ற எத்தனிக்கும் நோக்கம் என்பன பற்றி விமர்சனம் செய்கிறார்.
