nettime: some criticism on brener's artwork |
some criticism on brener's artwork while progressive part of mankind follows alexander brener's heroical fight with corrupted art market system and writes letters in his support, some critical replies on his stedelijk piece of performance have appeared. dmitrij prigov, whose works brener used to sharpen his skill on before stedelijk climax (and whose opinion therefore can be biased) says that he likes the performance idea (!) but thinks that the piece itself is very much of compromise. according to prigov, brener should have done it at the greatest temple of venal art - the museum of modern art in new york and then confront the dollarland's system of justice. there is also another opinion - that brener had chosen wrong painting to put the dollar sign on. malevich's 'black square' which is being shown at the tretiakov gallery in moscow is proposed as the most appropriate (both ideologically and esthetically) candidate. though brener's critics admit that no any work of art doesn't worth close acquaintance with russian prison system which still bears too many features of that of malevich time. alexei shulgin -- ............................... .....moscow wwwart centre...... http://sunsite.cs.msu.su/wwwart ............................... -- * distributed via nettime-l : no commercial use without permission * <nettime> is a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, * collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets * more info: [email protected] and "info nettime" in the msg body * URL: http://www.desk.nl/~nettime/ contact: [email protected]
