Banksy

After painting the town in New Orleans this past week, rogue British street artist BANKSY had the good sense to get out of Hurricane Gustav’s way and piloted his caravan towards the Old South stronghold of ALABAMA where these newest hits quickly popped up. Keep an eye on Super Touch for updates as Her Majesty’s royal artist makes his way east, spraycan in hand.

INDEX: CONCEPTUALISM IN CALIFORNIA FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION

LINK
Opening Sunday August 24th, 11AM-6PM, $5
08.24.08 - 12.15.08



Index: Conceptualism in California from the Permanent Collection draws upon MOCA’s substantial holdings of works by artists who have lived and worked in California and have contributed to the international lexicon of conceptual art. Curated by MOCA Curator Philipp Kaiser and Curatorial Assistant and Project Coordinator Corrina Peipon, the exhibition surveys the evolution of conceptual and post-studio practices by highlighting significant individual works alongside multiple works by artists in the collection. Acknowledging California artists’ particular contributions to defining and expanding art historical notions of conceptual art, the scope of this exhibition reaches from the proto-conceptual disciplines of artists Wallace Berman and Bruce Conner to the groundbreaking work produced during the mid-1960s, ‘70s, and into the ‘80s by artists John Baldessari, Chris Burden, Guy de Cointet, David Ireland, David Lamelas, and Alexis Smith, among others.




In recognition of the undeniable legacy of this period in California art, this exhibition also presents post-conceptual explorations by artists that were influenced by the preceding generations. Building upon the dialogue initiated by their mentors, artists Cindy Bernard, Andrea Fraser, Mike Kelley, Mathias Poledna, Stephen Prina, Pae White, and Christopher Williams continually redefine the boundaries of their various mediums and subjects through rigorous scrutiny and serious, though often humorous, analysis.

Update!

News: About to leave for LA, on Tuesday uhh tomorrow I'll be creating a new separate blog with my writing work. And I want to invite submissions, like reviews published or not to provide a place for further discussions. So if you have reviews with pictures, send them on to me, if you don't have pictures of the show then provide a weblink that we can check out. I was thinking also that this new blog will give artists a chance to have their shows reviewed and published there, so hopefully the reviewer has seen the show or can go see it, I guess a way of linking up with writers in your area and getting critical feedback from several people. Email me or leave a comment on this post and we'll talk further about it!
