30. oktober, 18.00-20.00
George Baker fra Universitet i Californien, Los Angeles, professor i moderne kunst og samtidskunst, taler om 1980ernes postmoderne kunstkritik, der erklærede maleriet for dødt og om de strømninger, der i modstrid med postmoderne kritik, søgte at transformere maleriet over i nye objektformer og medier. En form for maleriets ”dobbelt sprog” som Baker vil forbinde med nutidige eksempler på denne udvikling. F.eks. kunstnere såsom Sherrie Levine, Allan McCollum og Mike Kelley, hvis værker har det tilfælles at være, som Baker kalder det, ”Forms of Painting in Disguise”.

Notes on Painting in Disguise, Artist Talk with George Baker
George Baker from the University of California, Los Angeles, professor of modern and contemporary art, speaks about the postmodern art criticism of the 1980s which declared painting dead, and about the currents which in opposition to postmodern criticism sought to transform painting into new object forms and media. A form of painting’s “double language” which Baker will relate to current examples of this development, e.g. artists such as Sherrie Levine, Allan McCollum and Mike Kelley whose works are all what Baker calls “Forms of Painting in Disguise”.
