Podcasts: John Bock in Conversation with Franz Erhard Walther

2011-10-16T09:19:29+00:00

Since the early 1960s, Franz Erhard Walther has explored the possibilities of objects and images that prompt viewers to do something other than just look. Walther was an inspirational teacher at Hamburg’s Hochschule für Bildende Künste, and John Bock was one of his students. Bock’s work - in the spirit of Walther’s - transforms action, speech and everyday materials into complex installations. The two artists discuss the potential of doing things with - and amongst - art.

Podcasts: Daniel Buren

2011-10-15T10:09:32+00:00

In a career spanning 40 years, Daniel Buren has created art in public spaces, written critical texts and collaborated with artists from different generations. His work is always site specific and characterised by its use of contrasting coloured vertical stripes, most notably Two Planes (1986) for the courtyard of the Palais Royal, Paris. In 2011 he created work for Turner Contemporary Margate and was honoured with a retrospective at the Centre Pompidou-Metz. For Frieze Talks, Buren speaks about his approach to his work’s complex relationship to the space in which it is presented.

Podcasts: The Luxury of Incommensurability

2011-10-15T10:06:17+00:00

Unlike politics and writing, art can hold in suspension different, even conflicting ideas, feelings and histories, without forcing us to choose between them. This capacity for incommensurability allows for experiences not socially recognised - as yet not named. Siegel presents a paper arguing that the most exciting form this takes today is painting, in which abstraction and representation intersect and interfere with each other, continuing the secret and long history of modern painting, obscured by decades of ideologically rigid art criticism.
