What does artegiro do
First of all Artegiro being a nomadic concept wants to question
boundaries and politics of confinement of art to the elitist
use of it.
Artegiro also:
-proposes to bring Australian artists and
Australian art to the European market with a fresh and non
discriminating outlook. Australian art infact is often orientalised
and exoticised making it even more remote and incomprehensible.
-makes sure that: a) women artists are showcased
with the same care and emphasis male artists are;
b) the precious background each Australian artist has is valued
equally( the art market ironically and disturbingly discriminates
Australian art privileging Indigenous artists for the very
reasons why historic discrimination has hurt them and their
communities so much)
- works to promote art in context meaningful
to the artists and the viewer;
-makes sure conceptual artists are given
the space they need to express themselves in planned events
and involve the audience as the artists wish;
-works towards promoting versatile musicians
who wish to generate events that address the diverse interests
and desire of participation of European audiences
