The Tramway: Curatorial pseudo-intellectual artspeak!
It’s good to see Ian Gale, Scotland’s top art critic , tackling some of the obtuse art writing in exhibition guides.
Take this from the current exhibition at the Tramway in Glasgow of Katie Dove and Victoria Morton.:
“Of Dove:”experiential reference points allow the viewer access to the work through their own experience of the moment.”
Or Morton: “Detailed and continuous composition is intended to punctuate the non-linguistic, undefined limits of our imagination.”
He says:” If such worthwhile artists as these are to be introduced to a wider audience they need some sort of coherent interpretation not this half-baked, pseudo-psychological artspeak.”
I was thinking of going to see this exhibition, on second thoughts I won’t bother.
