talk at the TATE

Marina Abramovic is doing a talk at the Tate Modern on October 16th...

"Since the beginning of her career in Belgrade during the early 1970s Marina Abramovic is considered a major figure in performance art. She discusses her recent four-decade survey MOMA exhibition Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present which included a piece that marked her record for endurance after seating in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition totalling over 700 hours while facing a chair for visitors to seat.

Coinciding with her first solo show at Lisson Gallery in London, Abramovic analyses her interest in the preservation and the restaging of performance which motivated her founding of the Marina Abramovic Institute for Preservation of Performance Art in New York. She is in conversation with Iwona Blaswick.

The comeback

Hi everyone, how was your Summer? I saw Marc and Caroline the other day at Caroline's, which was great. The sad news is that I heard that maybe Emmeli and Julieta could be staying in their countries instead of coming back to London for next course. Is that right? No, let me tell you, that's not right.
Anyway, let's cheer up. There's this great Wolfgang Tillmans show at the Serpentine which closes on Sunday 19th. I've already seen it but I'll be going again. Maybe see you there.

Emmeli's Leaving

For everyone who doesn't know, Emmeli is leaving London for 'Kalle's Kaviar', 'Keso' and 'filmjölk' (which means Sweden!). I was therefor thinking that we should meet up a final time in 'my' gallery for drinks and hugs on Sunday at 9 o' clock!
I'm aware of that people are away these days but I really hope as many as possible can make it!
See you guys there (and don't forget to bring your Turkish rugs!).

Images from the RCA show

I really enjoyed this year's RCA sculpture show. One of the criteria when they select future students is to represent a broad spectrum of what's going on in sculpture and maybe that's the reason why the show felt really diverse in materials and concerns. There was a bit of institutional critique (the guy who broke one of the walls of the building). There was performance and video. There was bronze. There was foam and wax and silicone and crap and glossy kitsch paint. There was construction. Interactive pieces. Machine-making. Secret narratives. Non-narrative. Simplicity. Complexity.
