The founder of arts festivals in India is looking at public space arts transformations: “For PATI (the Public Arts Trust of India), Public Art isn't just sculptures or murals in public spaces. Each Edition of Jaipur Art Week and Jodhpur Arts Week helps to redefine the term 'public art' by extending its reach by building discourse around urban spaces and heritage structures as sites for engagement to inspire new perspectives, reflection, and a sense of community.”

Artist Xu Bing is researching a new frontier: “The intersection of art and space technology opens up a new domain for us. I once said that what science cannot address art can, and vice versa.”

Designer Teo Yang is preserving and transforming Korean craft heritage: “I want to inspire people to take an interest in tradition and pass it on to future generations. I don’t want to create an institution because I believe passion for tradition should come naturally. Only those with real passion can create meaningful change.”

What is next for curator Hans Ulrich Obrist? HUO: “I’m very interested in the future of education—how we can create new interdisciplinary schools like Black Mountain College. It’s a topic I’d love to explore in a future Marathon or conference.”
