TateShots: Bruce Davidson's Subway

[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 14:04:28 05/17/12
In the 1980s the Subway in New York was poorly run, poorly lit and considered dangerous. Photographer Bruce Davidson decided to head underground to embark on what he called 'a voyage of discovery'. In Davidson's own words, 'I wanted to transform the subway from its dark, degrading, and impersonal reality into images that open up our experience again to the colour, sensuality, and vitality of the individual souls that ride it each day.' With its striking portraits ranging from gang members to a blind man, Subway is considered one of the finest photography projects ever completed. From his home in New York, Davidson talked to TateShots about the series.

Over the course of a few weeks the room is transformed from a blank canvas into an explosion of colour, with thousands of spots stuck over every available surface. TateShots have produced this timelapse video of The Obliteration Room covering the first few weeks of its presentation at Tate Modern. It was conceived as a project for children, and was first staged at the Queensland Art Gallery in 2002. The Obliteration Room at Tate Modern is free, and is open to the public until 18 March 2012.

In his vast, virtually empty studio, in London’s East End, the artist Michael Landy has been hard at work. Seven days a week for the last five months he has obsessively committed himself to drawing portraits of the people around him. Meticulously executed in pencil, these drawings question what it is to capture someone’s likeness. The approach is very different from the large-scale installations that Landy is best known for – such as Scrapheap Services and Semi-Detatched at Tate, or Breakdown, a public performance in which he dramatically destroyed all of his possessions. In this film we follow the progress of a portrait from beginning to end – that of TV presenter Kirsty Wark - and speak to Michael and his various sitters about the motivation behind the project.

For Tate Britain, Keiller has extended this idea to create an exhibition, The Robinson Institute, in which images of landmarks and locations in the English landscape are employed to illustrate the development of capitalism. The premise for The Robinson Institute is that a team of researchers has revisited Robinson's last known journey, and has presented his findings and film footage as an exhibition, featuring works by artists, writers, historians, geographers, cartographers and geologists; and a variety of other objects.

TateShots: Laibach, Monumental Retro-Avant-Garde

[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 13:27:38 05/01/12
This film shows highlights of Laibach's sell out concert at Tate Modern, on 14 April 2012, and presents a rare interview with founding band member Ivan Novak. Laibach have divided, outraged and confounded for more than 30 years. The Slovenian avant-garde collective use totalitarian imagery and play with and subvert the confused identities, ambiguities, and potential nightmares and utopias of national identity. Laibach was formed in 1980 shortly after the death of Marshall Josip Broz Tito, the Yugoslavian post-war leader. During the political unrest that followed, Laibach – whose name comes from the historic German name for the Slovene capital – formed their own self-styled ‘totalitarian’ group whose activities provoked strong reactions from the former Yugoslavian authorities as well as in Europe and the States. The group developed a ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’ in the form of a multi-disciplinary art practice including collages, graphics, posters, paintings, videos, installations, concerts and performances.

‘No Lone Zone’ is a military term designating an area where, for reasons of safety and security, the presence of just one person is not allowed. The phrase can also be used metaphorically to describe a highly sensitive or unstable place, such as the vulnerable environments that proliferate in the context of postcolonial globalisation. This exhibition presents a range of works by Teresa Margolles, Cinthia Marcelle, David Zink Yi and Tercerunquinto all formally and thematically concerned with the intersection of history, nature and politics.

As a child, he lived in Carbis Bay, just a mile from St Ives, and his recent artworks explore his childhood experiences in Cornwall; growing up gay, with an English mother and a Japanese father, in a seaside village. For the exhibition he has taken over the entire gallery, presenting a series of large-scale installations, many of which integrate works by famous St Ives' artists, including Alfred Wallis, Patrick Heron and Barbara Hepworth, and blending them with his own family narratives.

It started with a photographic assignment for the New York Times about a coal-fired power plant in Ohio in 2003. Epstein worked on the series over the next five years, expanding his project to address the environmental implications of power production and consumption across the United States, and including several images taken in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In this film Epstein talks about images from ‘American Power’ that are on show at Tate Modern.

TateShots: Barbara Hepworth
12/19/11

She lived and worked in Trewyn studios, now the Hepworth Museum, from 1949 until her death in 1975. TateShots travelled to St Ives to explore the studio and its gardens, where Hepworth's sculptures are seen in the environment for which they were created. 'Finding Trewyn Studio was a sort of magic', wrote Hepworth; 'here was a studio, a yard and garden where I could work in open air and space'. The film includes archival footage from an interview with the artist from 1973.
