The Evening Standard Publications by Brian Sewell. Saturday, May 3, 2008. I laughed when I read that article from the Guardian about whether or not critics have any influence over the art world. It reminded me of Sewell and that piece I wrote in which I said his angry remarks about certain artists were 'largely ineffective'. So is it true? Do art critics no longer make a difference? There's no crisis, surely things are as they have been for some time now? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Art Criticism...

Turbine Hall: Construction - Architects (Tate website)
http://zooskturbine.blogspot.com/2008/05/construction-architects-tate-website.html
Sunday, May 4, 2008. Construction - Architects (Tate website). To find the best architects for the project, Tate organised an international competition which attracted 148 entries. After a two stage short-listing process the eventual winners were the Swiss firm Herzog and de Meuron who are widely acknowledged as one of the leading practices among the younger generation in Europe. In 1997 they were one of three architectural practices shortlisted for the expansion of the Museum of Modern Art in New York a...

The Evening Standard Publications by Brian Sewell. Saturday, May 3, 2008. Hang it all – they've hidden everything. Some years ago, angered by a particularly meagre annual re-hang of Tate Britain, sponsored by BP, I stood at its door and asked 100 visitors, on the point of leaving, two simple questions. How long, deducting time spent in the café and the cloakroom, have you spent in the gallery? And how long did you expect to spend? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Born: 15 July 1931.

The Evening Standard Publications by Brian Sewell. Saturday, May 3, 2008. Can you see anything wrong with this picture? 8220;I'm not in good spirits about Avalon,” said the old boy to Rooke in 1897, exactly a year before his death, “it might turn out no more than a piece of decoration with no meaning in it at all, and what's the good of that? I shall have to … go at it with more fury.” But then, within weeks of the first brushstroke in 1881, he had asked himself: “Why did I begin it? Born: 15 July 1931.

Art: Seduced at the Barbican?
http://zoosk.blogspot.com/2008/02/seduced-at-barbican.html
Inconsequential encounters with the Art World. Friday, February 1, 2008. Seduced at the Barbican? The Barbican’s new show ‘Seduced’, takes us through the history of sex in art beginning with a range of classical and ancient Chinese and Japanese art, and ending with today’s practising artists from around the globe. Not once does the content seem to hesitate or hide under the pretence of innocence and naivety of what it is. Being uncensored is exactly the point - it begs to differentiate art from pornograp...

Turbine Hall: Unilever Series
http://zooskturbine.blogspot.com/2008/05/unilever-series.html
Sunday, May 4, 2008. So what exactly is the 'Unilever' series? Like with many other galleries, it is just a series of exhibits by artists chosen by the Tate. In this case however, and unlike many other galleries who chose existing works by artists, the Unilever Series offers to the artist the vast space of the Turbine Hall in which to create a work of art, or in other words, the artist is commissioned to create something for that specific space. Our commitment to the arts. Our 20-year programme of collec...

The Evening Standard Publications by Brian Sewell: April 2008
http://zooskbriansewell.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
The Evening Standard Publications by Brian Sewell. Monday, April 28, 2008. Art Critic Crisis (article from the guardian). March 21, 2008 in Aesthetics. Damien Hirst’s diamond skull. You can whack them with a shovel. You can shoot them, poison, stab or throttle them. You can threaten their families and you can hound them in the press; you can put them down any way you like, but some artists refuse to stay down. What does this tell us? That artists are the undead? Or, worse, that criticism is in crisis?

Art: February 2008
http://zoosk.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Inconsequential encounters with the Art World. Friday, February 1, 2008. It is probably more appropriate to say that the ninety-five year old female artist’s work is currently on display at the Tate Modern, rather than to say that her life. Her obsession with her past is undeniab. Le, and for a brief moment she is able. To draw you into it. I was curious to find o. Ut what had made her so angry, and why exactly the word ‘trauma’ was. 8217;s confusion at the situation? On the other hand, one interesting t...
