    GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC GROUP EXHIBITION SEX AND THE BRITISH SALZBURG VILLA KAST 15 Apr 2000 - 03 Jun 2000 SLAP AND TICKLE A perspective on the sexual content of British Art since the 1960s An exhibition under the curatorship of Norman Rosenthal and Max Wigram Great art has often been inspired and driven by Eros. When we talk about eroticism and sex in art, we touch the most original source of artistic inspiration. Important intemationally renowned British artists such as Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud or David Hockney have repeatedly used sex as a leitmotif for their works, indeed their work has even depended on it. Far from being uptight about sex, these artists have explored areas of sexual practice with a graphic opemiess that never shies away from controversy. Besides significant works by Gilbert + George this exhibition brings together the most sensual exhibits of a younger generation of artists, showing fascinating representations of erotic and sexual motifs in art. The explosive development of British art since 1990 owes much to the Vanguard, which paved the way in the 1960s and l970s. Sex has become even more of a major theme in the work of the so-called YBA's (Young British Artists). Sex is nothing to shy away from nor is its fantasy to be disputed because of its frank inclusion in much of contemporary British work. Using the contemporary energy of shock and more traditional ideas of beauty this exhibition contains some extremely explicit and provocative works. It confronts issues of pomography, homosexuality and amorality with a directness that will subsequently make the British and sex appear in a new light.

Now entering its third consecutive year, the project has been developed as part of a long- term vision to enhance the public realm and forms part of the Eastern City Cluster and Fenchurch & Monument Area Enhancement Strategies.

It helps to deliver the objectives of the Cultural Strategy and the City Together Strategy, particularly: Theme 4: “is vibrant and culturally rich”. The project includes community events and on-site school workshops. The temporary nature of the artworks ensures it remains dynamic, responding to the constantly changing urban environment of this part of the City. The project is funded through financial and in kind support from external partners including Hiscox, British Land, Aviva, Aon, Brookfield and 30 St. Mary Axe (IVG-Europe) and a capped contribution (£50k) from the Pinnacle Section 106 agreement.

  • Unlike Most Other Artists, Particularly Those Involved in the Performing Arts Home’ in a Way I Never Had Before
    Unlike most other artists, particularly those involved in the performing arts home’ in a way I never had before. I discovered that to be an artist was to – dancers, musicians, actors, and film-makers – visual artists rarely work as become part of a community of people engaged through their individual part of an ensemble or where individuals combine their different skills and work in a passionate and on-going debate about art. Amongst my fellow roles to produce a single common work. students were Richard Serra, Chuck Close, and Brice Marden. My whole sense of myself as an artist was established at Yale. When I came to Britain Although there are a number of examples today of pairs of artists in 1966 I felt immediately welcome because the community of artists does working as a single creative unit – e.g. Gilbert and George, Fischli and Weiss, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Webster and Noble – and many artists work with assistants, sometimes teams of assistants – the defining characteristic of contemporary art is that of the individual vision defined through an individually developed and recognisable visual language. At a crucial level visual artists work alone. Their work must define and confirm the difference between their vision and that of other artists. Yet, in my experience, of all the arts, none has a more highly developed and pervasive sense of community than the visual arts. Few romantic ideas about art are more misguided than that of the isolated genius. In general the engagement with other artists begins in art school. Ideally an art school creates an intense experience of competitive discourse and common purpose amongst its students as well as between the students and their teachers, and through them, with the wider art world beyond the school, the world of exhibitions, galleries, publications, museums, etc.

  • Young British Artists: the Legendary Group
    Young British Artists: The Legendary Group Given the current hype surrounding new British art, it is hard to imagine that the audience for contemporary art was relatively small until only two decades ago. Predominantly conservative tastes across the country had led to instances of open hostility towards contemporary art. For example, the public and the media were outraged in 1976 when they learned that the Tate Gallery had acquired Carl Andre’s Equivalent VIII (the bricks) . Lagging behind the international contemporary art scene, Britain was described as ‘a cultural backwater’ by art critic Sarah Kent. 1 A number of significant British artists, such as Tony Cragg, and Gilbert and George, had to build their reputation abroad before being taken seriously at home. Tomake matters worse, the 1980s saw severe cutbacks in public funding for the arts and for individual artists. Furthermore, the art market was hit by the economic recession in 1989. For the thousands of art school students completing their degrees around that time, career prospects did not look promising. Yet ironically, it was the worrying economic situation, and the relative indifference to contemporary art practice in Britain, that were to prove ideal conditions for the emergence of ‘Young British Art’. Emergence of YBAs In 1988, in the lead-up to the recession, a number of fine art students from Goldsmiths College, London, decided it was time to be proactive instead of waiting for the dealers to call. Seizing the initiative, these aspiring young artists started to curate their own shows, in vacant offices and industrial buildings. The most famous of these was Freeze ; and those who took part would, in retrospect, be recognised as the first group of Young British Artists, or YBAs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 14, 2012 THE ASPEN ART MUSEUM PRESENTS THE RESIDUE OF MEMORY WORKS BY 21 INTERNATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT ARTISTS EXAMINE HOW OBJECTS AND EXPERIENCES ESTABLISH CONTACT WITH THE PAST On view May 11 through July 15, 2012 Artists: Kristoffer Akselbo, John Baldessari, Andrea Bowers, Phil Collins, Bruce Conner, Roberto Cuoghi, Simon Evans, Lara Favaretto, Paul Graham, Karl Haendel, Susan Hiller, Pierre Huyghe, Friedrich Kunath, Glenn Ligon, Teresa Margolles, Richard Misrach, Richard Prince, Paul Ramirez Jonas, Doris Salcedo, Kaari Upson, and Anna Von Mertens ASPEN, COLORADO—The Aspen Art Museum presents The Residue of Memory, an exhibition featuring 21 internationally significant artists whose work encompasses a variety of media. The exhibition examines the diverse ways events can leave their mark, and how objects and experiences can function as physical traces or intangible points of contact to the past. It is on view May 11 through July 15, 2012, with a reception on June 28. Memory is a paradoxical thing central to the formation of the self, yet it is elusive. Memories become attenuated with the passage of time, yet can come rushing back in an instant under certain conditions. Whether personal or public, illustrative or evocative, ephemeral or concrete, the works in The Residue of Memory collectively engage with such apparent dichotomies as distance and proximity, loss and remembrance, the individual and the universal. BIOGRAPHIES OF THE 21 ARTISTS ARE BELOW.
