I find it rather funny that my first post as an official "blogger" has to do with time-based media. Those who know me know how worked up I get on some of the ridiculous antics contemporary artists are up to these days. I like subtle. I like purpose and clarity. I don't like artist statements that rationalize the work by making the viewer (or me) feel inferior and less highly evolved...But I'm trying to be a big girl and make this blog as unbiased as possible - so I digress.
Ok, Ed Atkins.
For those of you that read ArtReview there is an article in the current September issue titled "Great Collectors and their Ideas: Julia Stoschek"which has some interesting insights into her collection. Growing up in a family where art was never an interest, Stoschek has a pretty distinct taste - taste that definitely has street cred. September 6, 2013 was the seventh annual exhibition from the collection featuring Ed Atkins and Frances Stark.
