  • Where Do Ideas Come From?
    Where do ideas come from? Where do ideas come from? 1 Where do ideas come from? At Deutsche Bank we surround ourselves with art. International contemporary art plays its part in helping us to navigate a changing world. As a global bank we want to understand, and engage with, different regions and cultures, which is why the Deutsche Bank Collection features contemporary artists from all over the globe. These artists connect us to their worlds. Art is displayed throughout our offices globally, challenging us to think differently, inviting us to look at the world through new eyes. Artists are innovators and they encourage us to innovate. Deutsche Bank has been involved in contemporary art since 1979 and the ‘ArtWorks’ concept is an integral part of our Corporate Citizenship programme. We offer employees, clients and the general public access to the collection and partner with museums, art fairs and other institutions to encourage emerging talent. Where do ideas come from? 2 Deutsche Bank reception area with artworks by Tony Cragg and Keith Tyson Art in London The art in our London offices reflects both our local and global presence. Art enriches and opens up new perspectives for people, helping to break down boundaries. The work of artists such as Cao Fei from China, Gabriel Orozco from Mexico, Wangechi Mutu from Kenya, Miwa Yanagi from Japan and Imran Qureshi from Pakistan, can be found alongside artists from the UK such as Anish Kapoor, Damien Hirst, Bridget Riley and Keith Tyson. We have named conference rooms and floors after these artists and many others.

Painting has been the subject of his research for the best part of 30 years. He was a key figure in the Young British Artists scene in London in the Nineties and the youngest person to be nominated for the Turner Prize in 1991. Even back then, he was preoccupied by the relationship between shape, colour and material. ‘My paintings are about fluidity, movement, liquidity and how movement affects installations and spaces,’ he says. His studio in south London is something of a Tardis. Located off a residential street, it is a vast space that allows him to experiment with different techniques and scales. Ian creates many of his paintings by pouring paint down smooth surfaces in linear patterns. In a recent body of work, these kaleidoscopic lines puddle in swirls at the base of each painting, resulting in something nearing sculpture. There are the diagonal works in which paint is poured from opposite sides of the surface and merges in the middle, then there are the Splat pictures, which he creates by 509 West 27th Street New York NY 10001 + 1 212 563 4474 kasmingallery.com squirting paint onto a vertical hanging surface and letting it trickle into random patterns.

  • 'The Neo-Avant-Garde in Modern Scottish Art, And
    ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ CRAIG RICHARDSON DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (BY PUBLISHED WORK) THE SCHOOL OF FINE ART, THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART 2017 1 ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ Abstract. The submitted publications are concerned with the historicisation of late-modern Scottish visual art. The underpinning research draws upon archives and site visits, the development of Scottish art chronologies in extant publications and exhibitions, and builds on research which bridges academic and professional fields, including Oliver 1979, Hartley 1989, Patrizio 1999, and Lowndes 2003. However, the methodology recognises the limits of available knowledge of this period in this national field. Some of the submitted publications are centred on major works and exhibitions excised from earlier work in Gage 1977, and Macmillan 1994. This new research is discussed in a new iteration, Scottish art since 1960, and in eight other publications. The primary objective is the critical recovery of little-known artworks which were formed in Scotland or by Scottish artists and which formed a significant period in Scottish art’s development, with legacies and implications for contemporary Scottish art and artists. This further serves as an analysis of critical practices and discourses in late-modern Scottish art and culture. The central contention is that a Scottish neo-avant-garde, particularly from the 1970s, is missing from the literature of post-war Scottish art. This was due to a lack of advocacy, which continues, and a dispersal of knowledge. Therefore, while the publications share with extant publications a consideration of important themes such as landscape, it reprioritises these through a problematisation of the art object.
