Infecting the City

By: Wojciech Gilewicz

This video piece, Infecting The City, is a new artwork that incorporates footage of paint interventions realised during the 2014 Infecting The City Festival.

Three forms of paint interventions: body painting, the splashing of paint, and ‘traditional’ painting represent different ways of approaching the medium in an urban context. Interweaving and juxtaposing these images, the artist questions the diversity and complexity of artforms and audience reception - suggesting that although almost everything is acceptable in art, the social structure of life is the raison d'etre for all art.
