Flash Art International
November-December 2002
It's a given that in the narrative of art history, painting dies and is
reborn cyclically. Judging from the number of fresh young faces tackling
and redefining the medium, and the prevalence of blockbuster painting
exhibitions popping up around the world, all signs point to yes that
painting is currently being resurrected as a medium of choice.
In our November-December issue, Flash Art brings you the second half of
"Focus Painting," a special supplement examining the state of painting
today. Three eminent painting curators: Lauri Firstenberg, Douglas
Fogle,
and Peter Pakesch, discuss the renewed institutional interest in this
medium today. Allison M. Gingeras excavates the historical and
ideological
dialogues embedded in Neo Rauch's paintings; Lauri Firstenberg
interviews
New York-based conceptual painters Barnaby Furnas, Julie Mehretu, and
Matthew Ritchie; Giancarlo Politi speaks with old friend Francesco
Clemente about his new watercolors; and Jorge Pardo addresses the
painter-dealer relationship in a conversation with Jan Tumlir. Rounding
out our coverage is a survey of fifty contemporary painters,
demonstrating
that painting is still alive and kicking today.
Plus: Jens Hoffmann talks to key players of the L.A. art scene, Gean
Moreno on Luis Gispert, Lee Triming on the Liverpool Biennial, Luk
Lambrecht on Brussels' "ForwArt" exhibition, Revolutions on Request, the
Asia-Pacific Triennial, media_city seoul, Pierre Huyghe, and dozens of
reviews including Will Cotton, Torben Giehler, John Bankston, Michael
Raedecker, Amelie von Wulffen, and more.
