Cultural Conversation: Contemporary Art meets Social Media
Tuesday 1 February, 12 - 4pm
PSL [Project Space Leeds]

the text below is a direct quote from the publicity:

'Who is it for?
Artists, gallerists, studios, lovers of contemporary art, buyers, collectors, academics, PR, media

How can you tell a story about yourself or your art practice which is captivating, doesn't consume too much of your time, and connects you to the people you'd like to develop relationships with?
How can you shake off that feeling that marketing is the work of the devil? That it's all ugly self-promotion? Can you create a narrative that is congruent with you and your values?
If you're intrigued about the answers to these questions, then come and join in with this special Cultural Conversations event focussing on the benefits and use of social media technologies.'

Luc Tuymans  is not shy about admitting that he is easily one of the most influential figurative painters working today. His work - which often deals with heavy historical subjects like the Holocaust and postcolonial guilt - resists easy interpretation. So fans and the creatively curious alike will be delighted by the  Whitechapel Gallery 's launch of  On & By Luc Tuymans , a collection of Tuyman's writings (one of them is appropriately entitled, "I Still Don't Get It") on not only his own ideas and images, but those of El Greco, Giorgio Morandi, and Neo Rauch, to name a few. Edited by historian-publisher Peter Ruyffelaere, it also includes critical essays, dialogues and interviews by art historians, critics, and artists like Ai Wei Wei and Takashi Murakami. I actually managed to catch  Tuymans  after his recent  Whitechapel Gallery  talk in London with art critic Adrian Searle (who also wrote  On & By Luc Tuymans 's introduction) abou...
