The Tactical Use of Guerrilla Intervention.
- Authors
TSUCHITANI, SCOTT
- Abstract
The article explores the impact of advertisements for "Geisha: Beyond the Painted Smile" exhibition at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. Art that goes by the name "socially engaged art," "social practice," and "tactical aesthetics," is a multidisciplinary form of art that combines visual and performative media with participatory social relations, to explore the question of "What can art do to create change?" In socially engaged art, it is stated that a special form called guerilla intervention consists of unsanctioned public art activities which are visually documented and disseminated through social and mass media to generate informed debate, reframe the dominant discourse and shift the culture. It is noted that the word geisha literally means "person of the arts."
