Post-Conceptual Painting
A discussion on contemporary painting, featured a different guest artist each week:
Painting was considered as pictorial practice in the widest, non-denominational sense. Taking the decline in the power of conceptual art as a starting point, it explored the way painters this century have re-embracing sensation, material effects and diverse approaches, unconcerned with the kinds of debates and/or fixations that ebbed and flowed in earlier moments of modernity.
In consultation with the guest artist, reading were taken from fiction, poetry, philosophy, political theory, film, a still image, or a joke!
A package of historical texts on painting was included to contextualise the contemporary moment.
