More trouble with painting.

'Why do artists continue to paint? Does painting have an intrinsic value?' These questions were the  focus of the debate held at the ICA in November 2010 in 'the lead up to Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2010 at the ICA'. Bruce McLean, Vanessa Jackson, Margarita Gluzberg and Mark Leckey took part in this discussion, considering the current state of painting.
Chaired by ICA curator David Thorp. see ICA website. 


The comments made by Mark Leckey in relation to his trouble with painting I consider pertinent
 he states his desire of 'not just wanting to look at paintings but wanting to be in them'.




Some of the artists that are mentioned within this discussion I have also added links to. 


Christopher Wool ( Born 1955. Lives and works in New York City)





Kerry James Marshall  (born in 1955 in Birmingham, Alabama)

Material matters.

Thank-you to every one that attended my talk on Tuesday, and for all the questions. It's interesting that although I stood up and talked for sometime in the lecture theatre It often takes me some time and courage to ask questions. If you do want anything clarified please feel free to ask me, either here in the comments section or by email. All feedback is also useful, it was the first time I had used media clips in a presentation. I hope they added some clarity to the talk, what do you think?  I would be delighted to know.I have attempted to give references to all the artists and information covered but again if you can't find the information you need  in 'Painting matters' let me know.
