In
the second international Britto organised workshop, 20 artists
-- 11 from abroad and nine from home -- had their chance to
give shape to their concepts. It was in fact a workshop for
the conceptualists -- those who abandoned the old mode of
art to express themselves through site-specific installation
and performance or both.

The
15-day-long workshop kick started on January 30. The venue
of the creative actions was Nungola, Bogra. It became a hub
of creative exchanges among the participating artists as well
as between artists and the visiting art aficionados. The last
two days were allocated for an overview of the works that
had been done in Bogra. The art lovers ran to the La Galerie,
Alliance Franchaise, Dhaka, to have a look.
