Art Monthly Talk Show 9th December 2013

All Clear

Paul O’Kane sees through the rhetoric of transparency

Recent claims that transparency – particularly the kind heralded by online technologies – is a panacea for democracy veil the fact that, in terms of power relations, these technologies often function more like the one-way mirrors of interrogation rooms. Perhaps artists ought to look back to the radical repurposing of mainstream culture in the tumultuous 1970s for inspiration as to how to reveal the unseen.

‘Can we complacently claim that the will of the people is the rule of the people by the people while we enthusiastically give our time and agency over to commodified wizardry whose complex algorithms keep us “sitting in a room, by ourselves, staring at a chunk of plastic”, as a recent Facebook post confessed.’

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

Art Monthly Talk Show 9th September 2013

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chris Mc Cormack, Art Monthly’s Assistant Editor discusses a feature and a review from issue 369 July/August Art Monthly magazine with the authors.

Art & Politics

Which side is art on ask Dean Kenning and Margareta Kern

In the face of government austerity measures which have squeezed artists and public arts provision more than any other sector, an elite art world has continued to prosper. Isn’t it time that, in order to develop political agency in their work, artists begin to acknowledge this glaring dichotomy?

‘Can art act in opposition to neoliberal power and manifest values based in equality, commonality and solidarity? Or does art simply manifest and further the interests of a transnational capitalist class?’

Art Monthly Talk Show 12th August 2013

 

This is the second programme based on content from the July/August issue 368 of Art Monthly.

Patricia Bickers Editor of Art Monthly discusses her feature “Venice Inside Out”  on the real lines that divide insiders from outsiders

At the Venice Biennale, as elsewhere, curators are marshalling ‘outsiders’ and ‘real people’ for the benefit of curious spectacle-seekers. But isn’t such apparent inclusiveness simply a curtain that hides the persistent asymmetry of power?

‘Massimiliano Gioni’s aim of blurring “the line between professional artists and amateurs, outsiders and insiders”, wilfully ignores the real dividing lines between insiders and outsiders demonstrated everywhere in Venice: money, power and the right to self-determination.’

Patricia is joined by Chris McCormack Assistant Editor of Art Monthly as well as Daniella Rose King who reviewed The Alternative Guide to the Universe which was at the Hayward Gallery, London- another exhibition with Outsider Artists.

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

Art Monthly Talk Show 8th April 2013

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul O’Kane, Mark Harris and Reuben Fowkes discuss their texts in the April 2013 issue of Art Monthly

Life and Death- Paul O’Kane on art and being. If art in secular societies plays some part in defining humanity, how have artists such as John Akomfrah, Nick Broomfield and Patrick Keiller met the challenges laid forth by globalisation’s increasingly pervasive and invasive brand of technocapitalism?

‘When, occasionally, the shameful excesses, inadequacies and inequalities underpinning consumerism are glimpsed in news media, these “shocking facts” become yet more fleeting images, commodified emotions of momentary indignation and injustice.’

Maja & Reuben Fowkes on the return of the East European. When the coalition government recently proposed running an anti-UK advertising campaign in Eastern Europe with the aim of discouraging immigration, it brought an outmoded cultural categorisation back to life. Perhaps Number 10 might have looked at the work of Adam Chodzko, Roman Ondák, Dan Perjovschi and Nedko Solakov before returning the generic ‘East European’ to the discourse around identity.

‘In the 2000s these artists were likely to feel at home in the post-identitarian circuits of a globalised art world which abandoned the cult of origins in favour of a universalist outlook, but now they are faced with the return of the East European.’

Mark Harris on  The Bride and the Bachelors: Duchamp with Cage, Cunningham, Rauschenberg and Johns at the Barbican, London in Spring 2013

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

Art Monthly October 2010

In an age saturated with news footage of international disasters, artists question photojournalism. John Douglas Millar cites artists such as Renzo Martens, Harun Farocki and Aernout Mik, and asks: does art’s subjectivity give it a unique angle on the exploitation of tragedy?

‘Artists who critique how we consume images of atrocity pose questions about how we might step beyond the barrier of “looking”, to an ethical position with regard to images described by the Israeli philosopher and photography theorist Ariella Azoulay as “watching”.’
Andrew Hunt suggests that optimism and humour are intelligent alternatives to the cynicism of postmodern irony

Artists’ use of irony is commonplace, but irony’s reliance on a knowing viewer ensures that it cannot reach beyond a closed audience. Andrew Hunt wonders whether an open humour, as employed by Martin Kippenberger, Christian Jankowski and Wolfgang Tillmans, can reach out instead of in.

‘One answer to Ludwig Seyfarth’s question, “is there an alternative to Postmodern irony?”, is “humour”. While irony is a knowing critical instrument, humour, by contrast, can be described as a system that questions accepted values and patterns of experience.’

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

Art Monthly Show on Resonance FM, 13 August 2010

Mark Prince investigates art that uses language, and discusses the ways that narrative manifests itself in contemporary art.

Coline Milliard reports back from  Falmouth Convention organised by Teresa Gleadow with University College Falmouth. Artists, critics and curators gathered to discuss whether a bid to host Manifesta in Cornwall in 2014 was viable, or even worthwhile. Faces around the debating table included writer Lucy Lippard, artist Tacita Dean, Director of the Banff Centre in Canada Kitty Scott, director of Grizedale arts Adam Sutherland and co-curator of Manifesta 8 Bassam El Baroni.

The debate quickly zoned in on the central question: are residencies worthwhile? Is the work produced on residencies likely to benefit the local community – who are, after all, stumping up the bill. Cornwall have been told that they would have to find a cool 3m euros is they want to host Manifesta in 2014.
