ARTRA Magazine Endowment 4 highlights inclusive nature of art

Friday, 8 February 2013 00:01 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

This time around the theme of ARTRA Magazine revolves around the unprejudiced nature of art. Team ARTRA creatively highlights art’s inclusive space with its characteristic parameters that have been set forth from the previous edition.

Endowment 4 attempts to question whether it is justifiable to differentiate between the works of art by those who are considered to be ‘normal’ and ‘subnormal’. Interesting arrays of paintings are showcased that question the justifiability of perceiving the works of art by those who are considered to be ‘differently-abled’ or ‘mentally subnormal’ through sympathetic eyes.

The features of the fourth issue are further enriched by critical reviews on various performances of art that took place in the months of December and January. Some of the reviews include Deshan Tennekoon’s photography exhibition on Sanfransico’s ‘Day of the Dead,’ Colombo Fashion Week’s Designer Deneth Piumakshi, all you need to know about the Gratiaen Trust, Mind Adventure’s ‘Afterclass’ directed by Ruvin De Silva, Anoma Wijewardena’s latest exhibition, Natasha Nathanielz’s EP ‘Chasing Rainbows,’ Mika Tennekoon’s exhibition ‘Home,’ and many more.

ARTRA also showcases the need to combine art with retail to create a strong identity along with a comprehensive art calendar for the months of February and March.

The fourth issue will be on the shelves of Barefoot, Sarasavi, Vijitha Yapa, Makeen Bookshops and www.books.lk from the second week of February for purchase.
