TATE MODERN

A BIGGER SPLASH - PAINTING AFTER PERFORMANCE

HELENA ALMEIDA - INHABITED PAINTING

ILLUSION, LAYERING, SIMPLE MARKS, COLOUR, VISUAL IDEA AND CONTEXT

LUCY MCKENZIE

PAINTINGS THAT ARE THE SPACE, THERE IS NO ART HERE, THE SPACE IS NO LONGER A WHITE CUBE BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE 'ARTWORKS' EITHER. THOUGHT-PROVOKING

TATE COLLECTION

ALFREDO JAAR - LAMENT OF THE IMAGES

INFORMATION WE WOULD RATHER IGNORE, WE NOT LONGER SEE THE IMAGERY WE ARE BOMBARDED WITH. A NEGATIVE AND POLITICAL VIEW OF CONSUMER CULTURE. THE WORK IS SUPPLYING THE ONLY LIGHT IN THE ROOM, THEN BECOMES COMPLETELY DARK, SUPPLYING THE ONLY INFORMATION. WHEN IT IS COVERED UP, THERE IS NO INFORMATION (LIGHT).

MARK ROTHKO

ART AS EXPERIENCE, SEATS FOR THE VIEWER TO SIT, RELAX, BE ABSORBED AND BE SURROUNDED  BY THE WORK, ENCOURAGED TO TAKE THE TIME AND FORGET ABOUT SURROUNDINGS. LIGHTS DIMMED, ROOM SEPARATED FROM OTHERS. 

SPACE APPROPRIATE TO WORK BECAUSE THE ARTIST INTENDED IT TO BE VIEWED AND EXPERIENCED IN A PARTICULAR WAY.

BRUCE NAUMAN (VIOLINS, VIOLENCE & SILENCE)
NEON LIGHTING FOR IMPACT AND ATTENTION

PHYSICALITY OF PAINTINGS OF GERHARD RICHTER. JOHN CAGE WORKS, ART FROM EXPERIENCE AND FEELING AND ENJOYMENT RATHER THAN REPRESENTATION.

LEE UFAN - FROM LINE BEGINNING AND END
REPRESENTATION OF TIME AND EXPERIENCE, PHYSICALITY

New year, new start
