DISAGREE SHOW Words: Artbug A
Imagine paytng a yiSif to the National Galleries of Scotland and finding alongside Rembrandt's self-ponraif a VCR showing footage of him actually painting the picture. It would be an incredible and fascmating rnSrghi.
Btif WOuld the \"ldGO be as important as the painting? To my mind. one is art and the other is an added bonus. like the extra footage on a DVD. What prompted this thought was my ‘JfSIl to the Edinburgh College of Art degree show. I went along With two Canadian artists who were trying to get to grips wrth the fact that there were so few paintings in the painting department. no tapestry in tapestry and very little sculpture in sculpture. What they gave up trying to understand was why so many students felt it necessary to present a Video of them making the work that was in the show.
It might trick some people into helieying the work has validity but fl the work can't stand up on its own and needs an extra explanation. then maybe it is the work that has to he revrewed ~ not the video.
there was some work of which I VOUld have paid good money to see the ‘behind the scenes footage. Nicholas Newton did two large-scale paintings that showed remarkable skill and patience. As you tried to work out how they had been created. you were drawn closer and closer in. eventually haying to step back and re-focus on the image as a whole. This is what so much of the degree show lacks.
Instead of teaching the students tricks to give their work some modern impact. they shOuId be concentrating on teaching them a trade. I Just felt that so many would fall flat on their faces the second they left the cotton-wool college.
