MATTHEW COLLINGS AT THE OXFORD UNION PART 2
Matthew Collings defends contemporary art at the Oxford Union in a debate which took place on 5 November 2009. The motion was: "This house believes that conceptual art just isn't art", and the other speakers challenging the motion were the Polish artist Miroslaw Balka, critic Adrian Searle, and the Tate's Stephen Deuchar. The speakers supporting the motion included, bizarrely, Mark Leckey, winner of the Turner Prizer, and the Stuckist Charles Thomson. With thanks to the Stuckists for documenting read more...

The exhibition 'PRUNE - abstracting reality' focuses on the complex but intriguing relationship between realism and abstraction in contemporary photography. The exhibition includes only photographic work that is based on reality but which depicts this reality with a greater or lesser degree of abstraction.

The work of Croatian artist David Maljkovic engages with the heritage of modern utopias. His films, drawings, sculptures and installations often evolve around the potential of monuments and pavilions built during a period of optimism in former Yugoslavia in the 1960s and 1970s that have now been neglected or forgotten. Maljkovic resuscitates such f...read more... ) | |

In the first ten days of Performa 09, I attended 20 events. I rued the jam-packed schedule, got at least one venue and time completely wrong, and drifted off during Tacita Dean's languid 100-minute film of Merce Cunningham's dance company. I witnessed Ylva Ogland trying to distill vodka and ground rubies alchemically; was transported as Ruth Sacks ...read more... ) | |

Magdalena Hutter is a German photographer and documentary filmmaker. She has traveled many countries to work on her reportages and photographs, covering places as diverse as Kosovo and Latin America or Los Angeles and Isley in Scotland. Looking at her work, I wondered whether she perceives herself more as a photographer or as a reporter.

CHLOE LEAPER
22 Gallery, London
LeapinganddyingTedious artwork, a bit like Picasso
put through a blender and then juiced
to take out the interesting bits. This
is not art it is the production of
boredom.

THE MINORIES GALLERY
StefanA tough subject that sometimes I don't
think art can talk about without
making it into a form of
entertainment, moving and disturbing

RIBA, ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS
ArtypeteA little out of my area of expertise,
Open Poland - Architecture and
Identity, was a thoroughly rewarding
exhibition. The mixed history of
Poland of course adds into the variety
of architectural wonders on offer
here.

Lithuanian Embassy, London
ArtypeteI always find art in Embassies a bit
difficult. I think it is the idea of
the 'artistic ambassador', makes my
right eye flicker as I cringe a bit.
The work is youthful and perhaps a
little undeveloped, ideal really for
the representation of a country's
artistic output.

53RD VENICE BIENNALE
HarminderDON'T SHED TOO MANY TEARS. It is the
last of this years Venice Biennale,
thanks you have been pleasant. Note to
self: always go in the first few days
of the opening, by the end everything
has signs on it saying it doesn't work
or isn't available.

| hi Matthew Thanks for your talk today, it was just what we needed. Not a hint of a dull moment which invariably happens in most lectures. I read your blog with interest, partly because I was at Glasgow School of Art with Cathy Wilkes, but lost touch since. Please let me know if you are interested in meeting or interviewing the pop artist and contemporary of Andy Warhol: Gerald Laing. If so I can give you his contact since he is a friend of my fam... |
