Another
great teaching day at Camberwell – 2 sessions – the morning was all about
context and the effect of the structures that mediate the art that we see and
the afternoon was a workshop that focused on the idea of storytelling – next week
is the symposium and so it seemed the right time to think and talk about how we create and tell stories – for the students
the future is all about how they communicate and I am reminded of all the
workshops and sessions of storytelling I did with traditional storytellers in the 90s while living in Lincolnshire. I see Hugh Luptons name occasionally.
Managed to get to the Tate to see
the gloriously mad work by Phyllida Barlow – the Duveen gallery is just very very full in a way I have never seen before - but
there is also thinking – her proposal and ideas behind the work are really fascinating
- http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/tate-britain-commission-2014-phyllida-barlow/exhibition-catalogue/proposal
its a must see.
and then there is Kenneth Clark exhibition which lays out his life and its connection to the arts – a lot of interesting facts illustrated with a collection of artworks that display a focused good taste http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/kenneth-clark-looking-civilisation
