Bali: Art, Ritual, Performance

North Court Installation

Big Ideas

• Integration of art, ritual, performance• N.C. installation to suggest Balinese

village during festival time (every 220 days temples have an anniversary)

• Ephemeral quality of offerings (we plan on having offerings being made throughout)

• Most of the items in the exhibition intended for use in ritual, some in performance

Considerations

• North Court programming– some weekends will have artist in

residence--please incorporate into your tour by ending there and encouraging audience to participate
