Painting After Technology: Hal Foster and Mark Godfrey in conversation, Tate Modern
Sigmar Polke, Albert Oehlen, Tomma Abts, Christopher Wool, Amy Sillman, Charline von Heyl, Laura Owens, Jacqueline Humphries.
Foster wants to work through many of the forces that emerged in the 60s which are persistent in these artists’ works:
there’s an implicit grid
involved with pop
appropriation of images and gesture (as a readymade or image) with the intention of complicating it, playing with its authenticity (like Polke, David Salle) > a lot want to make a gesture and to cancel it at the same time (like Richter, which Foster says Wool, von Heyl, and Humphries do) > what does this mean for subjectivity now?
what does it mean to want to reconcile forces/effects etc. which seemed beyond painting with painting?
painting has a responsibility to provide “a space apart”/time away from the other screens ubiquitous in cont. society
