In Order of Appearance
Did you ever find out you’ve got a word completely wrong? Like saying “malapropism” when you mean “melanoma”-this would be an embarrassing malapropism. Anyway, I thought “peripatetic” was a fancy way of saying “all over the shop” and if an artist was “peripatetic” they had wide ranging interests and used a broad range of materials.
New Values – Tim Fleming
Tim Fleming has a penchant for fakes, whether it’s a ‘real’ business ina fake shopping complex, or working on fictitious film set. His tastefor using the faux to denote the truth is evident in his ongoinginstallations, Flatland OK,where 2D figurines and inanimate objects are frozen in motion -where everyone could hear you scream, but no one could move to help.
Emily Floyd - New Ways of Thinking
That heavy weight we feel when we walk into a gallery? Ignore that; that's the white elephant of theory and history that squats grossly in the corner of every white cube in every art scene. The already-said and the already-dead that executes every new idea and slots it neatly into the catalogue of 'nice tries'.
Louise Weaver, no small wonder
The relationship between art and craft is in many ways similar to that of rock and pop. They are similar, competitive yet distinct, and one is clearly better than the other. However, every now and then, there is an anomaly, take Justin Timberlake if you will.
Therefore, we will call Louise Weaver the Justin Timberlake of the art-world.
