Thank you for doing this DG, so we don't need to.
|

Another for your descriptors "more total cobblers"
|
|
As #100andthirty said, thank you DG. This looks like another “masterpiece” that I won’t waste my time going to.
I think I’ll wait until the main attraction is an exhibition of the King’s New Clothes. I wonder what artbolx they’ll have…………..😉 |
|
What DG actually said: "I quite liked El Anatsui's triptych".
The artbolx less so. |
|
Modern art is bosh.
|
|
Loved the pile of old radios. Less so, the set of clandestine videos where a load of Chinese dissidents secretly gather in the hills outside Beijing and have it away with each other.
|
|
Is writing art bolx itself an art?
|
|
Artbolx descriptors in galleries quite often leaving me spluttering noisily. I often wonder whether they actually originate from the artist, or merely from the curators

Aha, when you said 'bottle tops' I remembered seeing a monumental wall hanging in the Amsterdam Stedelijk museum earlier this year. And yes, it was by him too, and I had really liked it. Turns out that this work was bought jointly by the Stedelijk and the Kunstmuseum Bern, and they will take turns displaying it! So thanks for your post and allowing me to make this connection, and discovering this random fact!

If art with meaning needs written commentary to communicate that meaning, does that imply the artist hasn’t done a very good job?

As a fan of Tunnock's chocolate Tea Cakes, I was impressed by the Summer Exhibition entry, four years ago – a lion (or tiger possibly) sculpture covered in Tunnocks silver foil wrappers. It made my mouth water. I love art. Especially if you can chow down on it.
|
|
How does one sew metal bottle tops together?
Do they all have little holes drilled in them? Tedious. |
|
I quite like art with hidden layers that only become more obvious as you learn about the artist's background or the artwork's context. The physical object itself then becomes a mere part of a wider world of imagination or experience, waiting to be discovered and to provoke thoughts. If that needs an occasional pretentious word salad to help get the interpretation going, so be it.

Not a very exciting commission this year. I loved the Anicka Yi one from two years ago, the bizarre drone creatures floating around. I could have watched them all afternoon.
|
|
At least with your explanation this one makes sense and is quite clever and rather eye-catching.
|
|
Of the hundreds of different slavery routes and trades over the centuries why is this one always 'obviously' referenced? It was minor compared to what the Romans, amonst others, did.
|
|
You should never allow history to stand in front of some good artbolx. All artists know that!
|

Can’t beat the giant crack/crevice that was created down the length of the Turbine Hall floor way back when! Such a brave and memorable project! Even after they’d filled it in you could still see where it had been for years after - until comparatively recently when they removed all sign of it.
