Gestalt is an idea that posits the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. History, too, is like that; the sum of all human endeavour creates a grand narrative, larger in scope and scale than any single event. Each episode, we will explore a concept that forms a part of this grand narrative by examining some of the events; spread across time and region, that let it flourish. The ultimate goal is to place our present in the context of the past and in preparation for the future

Can art exist without context? Should it? What responsibilities do we have to ensure that we educate ourselves about its history? This two-part series explores our complex historic associations with ART as a social phenomenon and the role it plays in our lives.
Part one explores ideas of attribution and appropriation. Who and what influences art, tastes and contexts. Art is explored through fashion, music, dance, two clocks on a wall symbolising AIDS, paintings, the 2002 Oscar de la Renta collection of cerulean gowns and more.

Everything not saved will be lost
Ownership of History matters, insofar as who gets to destroy it. Iconoclasm is explored through the power of political and religious symbolism. Byzantine, Roman, Egyptian, French and Chinese histories are framed as by their destruction.
