On Drawing- Christopher Townsend

Christopher Townsend touches on the physicality of drawing

Renaissance artists considered drawing a way of communicating the maker’s identity, and it remains an artform that is resolutely physical. Even the most apparently hands-off of artists, such as Donald Judd and even Gordon Matta-Clark, are drawn to reveal their corporeality through the medium – albeit at one remove.

‘Donald Judd’s fabricator drawings become scripts for a bodily performance by the worker who produces the object, with as much space as possible left open for interpretation: the artist’s body vanishes, noli me tangere.’

The programme is hosted by Matt Hale who has worked at Art Monthly since 1991.

Private Moments

Morgan Quaintance makes the case for imaginative engagement as a form of participation

Discussion around particpatory art has missed one important category of engagement. Where is the analysis of artists – such as Manon de Boer and Marjolijn Dijkman – who purposefully cue up and then direct the individual viewer’s imagination?

‘Since the 1960s a real devaluation of the individual subject has seen the position of the communal and societal group as the rightful addressee of participatory art ossify.’  From the feature by Private Moments Morgan Quaintance in issue 354 March 2012  Art Monthly

Gerhard Richter: Panorama at Tate Modern

John Douglas Millar discusses his review of Gerhard Richter: Panorama at Tate Modern .

“The show is vast; there is the work that spars with Marcel Duchamp, the landscapes that investigate German Romanticism, September, 2005, his mournful and considered reaction to the attacks on the World Trade Center, the tender but always questioning domestic portraits of his wife and children. I cannot discuss them all here. In the end, the satisfaction of this show comes from the sense that you are constantly in the presence of an intelligence that is both effervescent and probing. A painterly mind that is able, fascinatingly, to think against itself”.

TV Makeover

Colin Perry on the vexed relationship between art and TV

Where once video artists set about attempting to subvert broadcast television, recently they seem to have surrendered to its normative codes. Since the most troubling aspects of TV have tended to get worse over time, shouldn’t artists retain a questioning attitude towards it?

‘Artists have stopped trying to change television, and for good reasons. In the early decades of video art, there was much hope that TV would prove an open and democratic platform for vi

The Made v The Readymade

Mark Prince on the resistance of objects

In the story of recent sculpture, making has given way to assemblages and installations of known objects that carry narrative overtones – but there are artists who resist this trajectory. If the readymade reduces the object to a transferrable set of signs, how have artists such as Phyllida Barlow, Tony Cragg, Richard Deacon and, more recently, Nairy Baghramian, Michael Dean and Alexander Heim short-circuited this current?

‘If art is expected to function as a vehicle for a set of branded narratives that should be as summarisable as possible from a digital remove, “eliminating recognisable things” might be a form of resistance.’

In this programme  writer Laura McLean-Ferris and writer,musician and curator  Morgan Quaintance discuss Laura’s feature from the October issue 351 of Art Monthly.

Dissolution– on the internet, sculpture and the body in pieces. A new generation of artists is tackling an age-old modernist subject with a post-internet mindset, asking not what we might fear from future bodily dissolution but how we should celebrate its existing effects.

‘Dissolution has been heralded, positively and negatively, incessantly over history. Over the past few years, however, a skewed sense of pace has developed: did we miss it actually happening?’

They also discuss Morgan’s review of Digital and Other Virtualities: Renegotiating the Image a book edited by Griselda Pollock and Anthony Bryant which finds virtual reality reinvigorated by new texts. ‘Cyberspace, the once maddeningly ubiquitous neologism coined in William Gibson’s 1984 novel Neuromancer, has, since its heyday in the early 1990s, been relegated to the bargin bin of passé cultural terminology, along with its sibling virtual reality.’

The programme is hosted by Matt Hale who has worked at Art Monthly since 1991.

Peter Suchin discusses Outrageous Fortune: Artists Remake the Tarot at Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea and then continues with John Douglas Millar to discuss John’s feature Art/Writing on why experimental writing thrives in the art world. There has been an upsurge in experimental writing, but why has it found its home in the art world rather than the literary industry? Is there a fundamental difference in how writers find audiences within these fields?

‘While academic and creative disciplines cross pollinate in the art world, they seem increasingly estranged in the literary world. The result is that the influence of experimental and avant-garde fiction waxes in the world of art while it wanes in the world of publishing.’

The programme is hosted by Matt Hale who has worked at Art Monthly since 1991.

Future Past

Christopher Townsend on a very British modernism

Wakefield’s new Barbara Hepworth museum gives visitors a slice of mid-century British modernism, but how can we comprehend this historical period when it is refracted – via contemporary culture – through late capitalism’s self mythologising?

 

‘The era of mid-century modernism and modernity is lost to us now, its Utopias are as unattainable as the archaic ages of Knossos and Troy, and presented to us in fragments gathered from the archaeological excavation of what was to come rather than the digging up of what really happened.’
