Armed with art

March 28, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:32 am IST

It’s a piece of document that the protesters detest, and yet on Sunday, it became the focal point of their art. Numerous artists, who have upped the ante against private investment in the maintenance of Venkatappa Art Gallery, vented their ire by “reading, rejecting and recycling” the memorandum of understanding between Tasveer Gallery and the Tourism Department. Copies of the MoU became dolls, masks and artwork canvas as artists refused to budge from their stand against the takeover. — photos: v. sreenivasa murthy
