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.

 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.

"showing the key moments in British art"

One for the diary. Private view for 'The Sadler Gift', the ex VC of Leeds University considered an 'art visonary in the North of England' Tuesday 6th Sept. 6pm. All Welcome. 'The Sadler Gift' 100 years ago this September, Sir Michael Sadler came to the University of Leeds as its new Vice Chancellor. Sadler, a visionary educationalist and major collector of British modernist art, stayed at Leeds until 1923. He was pivotal in shaping the artistic world in Leeds during his time there, by his involvement in the Leeds Art Club, the Leeds Art Gallery and in helping found the Leeds Art Collections Fund.
