David Chalmers Alesworth, (A.R.B.S.) was born 1957 in Oxshott in Surrey〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yearning for dialogue ) 〕 not far from Wimbledon, London UK.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Curriculum Vitae: David Alesworth ) 〕 He is a Pakistan-based English artist. Trained originally as a sculptor, he moved to Pakistan in 1987 and engaged with the popular visual culture of South Asia and with urban crafts such as truck decoration. He teaches art in Pakistan at various institutions including currently the Beaconhouse National University, Lahore.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Faculty listing ) 〕 Lately, he has also acted as a juror for the Kara Film Festival.〔 ==History== Alesworth studied art at the Wimbledon School of Art in the tradition of late Constructivism and won the prestigious ''Stanley Picker Fellowship'' at the Kingston University. He then took up a teaching assignment at the Glasgow School of Art. His encounter with Pakistani culture, especially truck art, in the early 80s opened up his practice to a range of new materials and he moved to Pakistan in 1987.〔 He started working with truck artists in the mid-to-late 90s and was attributed with some acclaimed installations, conceived in collaboration with Durriya Kazi. Through these collaborations and working with these craftsmen, he produced installations or interactive sites, such as ''Heart Mahal'', ''Very Sweet Medina'' and ''Promised Lands (Arz-e-Mauood)'' which generated substantial interest at local and international showings and cultivated a renewed attention towards cultural politics and aesthetics of cinema hoardings, truck art, bazaar artefacts, and commercial sign paintings.〔 Where most of his practices were based loosely around decorative flourishes of the urban bazaars, his central themes have remained environmental degradation and nuclear proliferation influencing works like ''Two Bombs Kiss'' in 1993.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Alesworth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
