  • Press Release
    Richard Patterson 19 April – 1 June 2013 Timothy Taylor Gallery is pleased to announce its third exhibition with the British artist Richard Patterson. One of the YBAs to emerge in the late 1980s, and a participant in both the Freeze and Sensation exhibitions which helped to define a generation, Pattersons work has only been seen occasionally in the UK since his move to the US, and this survey exhibition gives a welcome overview of the past 15 years of painting, by this most intriguing and thoughtful of artists. Pattersons compositions are often complex multivalent constructs, switching between meticulous realism and deft, rehearsed passages of abstraction sometimes even on the same canvas. As Toby Kamps has observed “Patterson achieves – technically and thematically – a thrilling simultaneity of images and ideas”. His paintings run the gamut of symbolic and cultural referents, from European art history to Japanese trucks, from Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders to Greek myth. Each painting for Patterson is a chance to engage with techniques and effect, but also on a philosophical level to make complex interconnections of meaning, image and making. Aware when starting out as a painter that painting had already been declared dead by critics and theorists alike, Patterson decided to relax and just do what he felt like, which included a new mode of painting which he dubbed hyperabstraction – a combination of abstracted subject matter and hyperrealist style, developed to meet the needs of the emergent digital age. Your Own Personal Jesus, 2011 [1995], is a recent example of hyperabstraction, a revisiting of one of a series of works dedicated to the depiction of a scaled up plastic Motocrosser toy covered in richly coloured oil paint, and a remake of the 1994 work which was destroyed in the Momart fire in 2004.

  • The Destruction of Art
    1 The destruction of art Solvent form examines art and destruction—through objects that have been destroyed (lost in fires, floods, vandalism, or, similarly, those that actively court or represent this destruction, such as Christian Marclay’s Guitar Drag or Chris Burden’s Samson), but also as an undoing process within art that the object challenges through form itself. In this manner, events such as the Momart warehouse fire in 2004 (in which large hold- ings of Young British Artists (YBA) and significant collections of art were destroyed en masse through arson), as well as the events surrounding art thief Stéphane Breitwieser (whose mother destroyed the art he had stolen upon his arrest—putting it down a garbage disposal or dumping it in a nearby canal) are critical events in this book, as they reveal something about art itself. Likewise, it is through these moments of destruction that we might distinguish a solvency within art and discover an operation in which something is made visible at a time when art’s metaphorical undo- ing emerges as oddly literal. Against this overlay, a tendency is mapped whereby individuals attempt to conceptually gather these destroyed or lost objects, to somehow recoup them in their absence. This might be observed through recent projects, such as Jonathan Jones’s Museum of Lost Art, the Tate Modern’s Gallery of Lost Art, or Henri Lefebvre’s text The Missing Pieces; along with exhibitions that position art as destruction, such as Damage Control at the Hirschhorn Museum or Under Destruction by the Swiss Institute in New York.

I wanted to take this moment to thank you all once again for your incredibly warm welcome. Of course, this has also been one of the most challenging years that the Royal Academy has ever faced, and none of us could have foreseen the events of the following months on that day in December when all of the Academicians came together for their Election Assembly. I never imagined that within months of being elected, I would be responsible for the temporary closure of the Academy on 17 March 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

    LANDSCAPES OF EXPLORATION — ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES ANNE With a degree in Biology, Anne completed an MA at the Royal College of Art in 2003. Working experimentally with hot glass, film and photography, she jointly won the BRODIE international Bombay Sapphire Prize for design and innovation with a short film, (ARTIST) Roker Breakfast in 2005. A pivotal shift in her working practice occurred after 2006, when Anne was awarded the British Antarctic Survey/Arts Council Artists and Writers fellowship to Antarctica. She lived and worked in isolated scientific bases for nearly three months, often working at the boundaries between science and art. Her current work explores questions of ownership and the decision-making processes involved in what constitutes ‘valid data’, usually the reserve of scientists. In 2009, Anne was awarded a Wellcome Trust arts award for a collaborative project exploring bacterial bioluminescence and its external relationship with the human body. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally, at venues that include, The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Royal Institution of Great Britain, The Old Operating Theatre Museum, and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, in Paris. LAYLA Layla Curtis is an artist, whose work encompasses a variety of media and often employs technologies, such as thermal imaging cameras, Global Positioning CURTIS Systems (GPS) and video to create drawings and trace journeys. She has exhibited (ARTIST) widely, with solo exhibitions at Milton Keynes Gallery (2000), New Art Gallery Walsall (2006) and Ormeau Baths Gallery, Belfast (2008). Also including group exhibitions at Tate Modern (London), Pavilhão Lucas Nogueira Garcez-Oca, (São Paulo, Brazil) and CCA, (Montréal, Canada).

As well as adjusting to unprecedented change, we continue to develop and innovate, as a group of four gal- leries linked together within a single organisation. • One exciting area of growth has been Tate Online – tate.org.uk. Now the UK’s most popular art website, it has won two BAFTAs for online content and for innovation over the last two years. In a move that reflects this development, the full Tate Biennial Report is this year published online at tate.org.uk/tatereport. This printed publication presents a summary of a remarkable two years. • A highlight of the last biennium was the launch of the new Tate Boat in May 2003. Shuttling visitors along the Thames between Tate Britain and Tate Modern, it is a reminder of how important connections have been in defining Tate’s success. • Tate is a British institution with an international outlook, and two appointments from Europe – of Vicente Todolí as Director of Tate Modern in April 2003 and of Jan Debbaut as Director of Collection in September 2003 – are enabling us to develop our links abroad, bringing fresh perspectives to our programme.
