CULTURE "X"
A research project funded by UKIERI (UK India Education and Research Initiative) and the British Council with a project directive to build an understanding of collaborative work, creating links between the Scottish and Indian education sectors. My practice based research component deals with cultural attitudes and assumptions through the production a series of urban art interventions that explore attitudes and expectations to work found outside of normal art or design environments. The interventions took place in Dehli, India during the spring of 2010 and were captured during a very hot dusty install in an industrial estate and a working class area of Dehli that we were advised not to venture into by Indian colleagues. We encountered no problems, the people were warm hearted, curious and tolerant of the process once they understood we were not advertising products, religions or politics simply doing an arts project . images © dougi mcmillan
