School's out
Saturday, January 30, 2010
Sauntered into MS the other day with a terrible hangover and a hanger on who insisted on touching everything. Including the Stephen Cohens. Anyway, it was one of those rare occasions that I found myself rather taken aback by an artwork, having turned the corner to walk straight into a huge axed brain, spewing brainy angsty nervy things out everywhere, held together by masking tape, served on a dish or nest of mannequin arms, complete with nihilistic banners. WTF! I was completely overjoyed, although I doubt that that was the intention of the work. There was something charming about the very high school feel of the whole thing, which was just so…..crass. I wish I’d been brave enough to make that thing in school; would have driven my teachers crazy….

I also liked that sculpture. It wasn't about using expensive materials and impressing people with money. It was rather about the time, care and courageous recklessness that goes into the making. Something that is very hard to explain but easy to recognise.
