In general -
I just feel a deep desire for contextualized work now. Two artfairs and one ultralarge and messy gallery show (Liljevalchs Spring Salon 2013) and the forcefulness of quantity over depth (in many cases there is no lack of quality, just time- space for processing), is exhausting. I guess it has to do with the lingering fear of "missing something important", so I look and look but to be honest, I don't see much.
This is no way to experience art.
Thus - what have I seen? That I liked?
I think I will divide this in categories rather than mixing in at all up in this post (since doing so would just repeat the attitude of conceptual flatness):
Black and white/ stuff that relates to my work (I never said the categories would be objective)
