Brian Eno’s 1995 Opening Speech for the Turner...
The Turner Prize is justly celebrated for raising all sorts of questions in the public mind about art and its place in our lives. Unfortunately, however, the intellectual climate surrounding the fine arts is so vaporous and self-satisfied that few of these questions are ever actually addressed, let alone answered. Why is it that all of us here – presumably members of the arts community – probably...

Are we supposed to feel shock? Revulsion?...

Universe of Desire
Type. Swipe. Search. Upload. Download. Post. Stream. These are the new verbs of desire.

Todd Hido: “Fragmented Narratives”
By Ian Epstein I once heard someone remark that the desire to have a perfect lawn was not unlike the desire to have a piece of perfect sculpture for a body – the lengths to which a person goes to achieve such perfection reveal a great deal. And so the coiffed and manicured American lawn that is a hallmark of the suburbs with perfect green grass came to resemble America’s plastic bodies,...
