Renowned Artists talk on the 'Business of Arts' at ISB

Hyderabad, September 23, 2004: The 'Business and Arts - Creativity Beyond Thought Leadership Programme' is being held at the ISB campus today and tomorrow. This programme has now entered the third year generating a lot of enthusiasm among the artist and student community.

So far, renowned artists, such as painters like Laxma Goud, Krishen Khanna, Jittish Kallat, Baiju Parthan, well-known sculptor Karl Antao, danseuse Dr. Sobha Naidu, photographer Mahindra Sinh and noted art collector Harsh Goenka have participated in this unique programme. During their time at the ISB, the artists helped students discover how artistic expression can give form to unstructured thought. Their talk was an insight into an unstructured but powerful thought process working within the limitations of a medium, highlighting the power of creative thought.

This year's programme has attracted eminent personalities from the art community. Paresh Maity, the renowned painter, is the 'Artist in Residence' this year at the ISB. He is creating a painting exclusively for the ISB which will be unveiled at the programme tomorrow evening. Phiroza Godrej - art crtic, a chemical engineer turned film maker - Nagesh Kukunoor, noted photographer - Ashok Salian, Bharatnatyam exponent - Rajeshwari Sainath are the other participating artists.

The 'Business & Arts - Creativity Beyond Thought Leadership' programme is an extension of the ISB's endeavour to encourage students to think imaginatively. In keeping with the best practices followed by the top, global business schools, the programme provides students with an exposure to the arts. During this two-day event, artistes will present and explain their work to students. Students will get the chance to explore the mind of an artiste, and understand his/ her art, through photographs, paintings, or dance. Their interactions will throw new light on innovation, stimulate aesthetic sensibilities, and open up a whole new alternative thought process.
