Flash Art International No.239
November-December 2004
The November-December issue of Flash Art registers the full force of the recent explosion in painting with a range of features on the topic. From Germany, Johannes Schmidt reports on the influential Leipzig and Dresden scenes, while JJ Charlesworth offers a diagnosis of the condition afflicting current British painting. From the United States, Lane Relyea explores the current antagonism between theory and painting. And an extensive guide to more than 60 of the world’s most prominent emerging painters offers a reference tool to the flourishing international painting scene.
Elsewhere in the issue, Flash Art catches up with Damien Hirst to find out about his retrospective at the archeological museum in Naples, hangs out with Evan Holloway in Los Angeles to discuss sculpture and space, and checks in with Amy Cutler in New York to find out more about her quizzical paintings.
As always Flash Art brings you the latest news from around the world, with reviews of a bumper crop of biennials (including the Bienal de Sao Paulo, the Liverpool Biennial, and the Gwangju Biennale), portraits of vibrant local scenes in Aperto Vancouver and Cityscape Beirut, and coverage of all the major events in contemporary art (including Ars Electronica in Austria, ISEA in Tallinn and Helskinki, Bunker Museum in Taiwan, and the redesigned MoMA in New York).
Reviews in this issue include Shahzia Sikander, Mark Leckey, Shrinking Cities, Martin Boyce, Gregor Schneider, Jane & Louise Wilson, Hernan Bas, Jeremy Deller, Our Grotesque, Mathieu Mercier, Christian Jankowski, A Decade of Democracy, David Noonan, Daniel Richter, Dario Robleto, Kenneth Anger, David Shrigley, Phoebe Washburn, John Bock, and many many more.
