Part 2: Context and Dialogue
Painter Painter has the potential of being both theoretically progressive and
informative in terms of content (the works and artists displayed), and I was
privileged to be attendance as Michelle Grabner, Jan Verwoert and Bruce Hainley led participating artists
and the Center’s members in presentations and group discussion of the meaning
behind the show. (The following are
excerpts and are incomplete and subjective, but these are the notes I was able
to take and my best attempt at reconstitution.
The videos will be available at a future date from the Walker.)
The context and dialogue of Painter Painter
takes place in many places and in many media simultaneously. The 02 Feb panel discussion was preluded by a
revealing interview with curators Eric Crosby and Bartholomew Ryan by Cristina
Travaglini in the winter issue of Kaleidoscope (www.kaleidoscope-press.com/current-issue/), on-line through individual artist
blogs (http://www.walkerart.org/painter-painter-studio-sessions) and on-site via panel discussions,
studio visits and personal artist interactions.
