Art Monthly Talk Show 14th October 2013

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This programme is based on two features from issue 370 October 2013 of Art Monthly 

Post-racialism- by Morgan Quaintance who looks beyond identity constructs- ‘If identity is constructed, by whom is it constructed? Whom does it serve, and according to what ideological commitments? Seeking answers to these questions would at least open the way for analyses of black identity.’ The fight for identity and equal representation that so occupied the second post-colonial generation in the UK has been co-opted by the very forces that it was meant to combat. Isn’t it time this new black identity that the dominant ideology has constructed – depoliticised and consumerist – be shaken by those it claims to represent? He  discusses this with Dave Beech linking it with Dave’s feature The Art Anomaly on art’s economic exceptionalism. Since art operates at the limits of economic understanding, economists have been reduced to declaiming its seemingly ‘perverse’ irrationaility. Instead of such name calling, isn’t the art anomaly better understood as revealing a flaw in neoliberal economic ideologies? ‘It makes sense to see the apparently irrational choices of artists as exerting a counter-force on economic rationality which sets limits on its efficacy. Economic exceptionalism results from a range of limits placed on market forces by non-economic forces.’

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

 The Culture of virtual curating and the phenomenon of virtual lives.

Morgan Quaintance and Omar Kholeif discuss their feature articles in the February 2013 issue of Art Monthly.

The Curator’s New medium-  Omar Kholeif

Traditional curatorial notions of researching, selecting and articulating are increasingly under threat from algorithmic approaches to gathering artefacts, epitomised by online efforts to tag artworks with searchable categories. Isn’t it time for critically minded curators to get to grips with the internet as a medium before it is subsumed by commercial interests?

‘The supposed democratisation of curatorial practice through virtual platforms threatens the traditional art-historical approach to curating, as witnessed in Paul Schimmel’s forced exit from MOCA, LA.’

 Being-Online- Morgan Quaintance

While it is increasingly possible to live your entire social life online, the technology companies that enable such interactions have their own commercial imperatives for shaping that intercourse. How do artists such as Denis Knopf and Thomson & Craighead reflect the channelled experience that is being-online?

‘The parametrical narrowing that is a fundamental design feature of online services constricts the behaviours of those engaged in the practice of being-online (living socially on and through the web).’

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

Jennifer Thatcher and Morgan Quaintance bring their two texts from the September issue of Art Monthly together. Jennifer’s feature – a conversation with Tino Sehgal and Morgan’s review of Claire Bishop’s book Artificial Hells.

Tino Sehgal is a key figure in the rise of participatory art, using performers – or ‘interpreters’ – to engage with audience members. He discussed his current (Sept 2012)commission for Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, his reliance on art galleries for context, the motivations driving his interpreters and his work’s avoidance of open-ended public engagement through a strict adherence to ‘the craft of composition’.

‘Unlike our name-badge culture of faux-intimacy (Hello, my name is Bob, how can I help you?), these interpreters remain anonymous. Yet that anonymity “paradoxically allows for greater intimacy”, Sehgal argues, “when you meet a stranger on a train, you can always say more.”‘

Morgan Quaintance wrote: ‘Claire Bishop explains that the dominance of ethical and moral judgement is killing aesthetic assessment in an “ethically charged climate in which participatory and socially engaged art has become largely exempt from art criticism”. This new binary (the ethical versus the aesthetic) replaces the passive-active conundrum as the new site of contention to be duked out in the participatory debate.’

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

Art Monthly Talk Show 9th March 2012

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

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

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.
