Q&A – Evelyn Polk
Evelyn Polk’s work is centred around the found object, but also overlaps with notions of excavation and the land. Acting as a mediator, selecting and presenting items for the consideration of the viewer. The process of how he works is dictated by the objects he finds.
Tate to Reopen Steve McQueen Exhibition
After successfully reopening all four Tate galleries last week, Tate Modern is pleased to announce that its Steve McQueen exhibition will also be reopening on Friday 7 August and will be extended to 6 September 2020. First launched in February, the acclaimed exhibition spanning 20 years of McQueen’s work has been modified with new visitor signage to aid social distancing and will reopen with a reduced visitor capacity.
Q&A – Minju Kim
Drawing on personal experience and inspired by human anatomy and psychoanalytic theory, Kim explores desire as the main subject matter alongside the concept of life and death.
In her theory, all things stem from desire and it varies depending on how the person’s desire appears. The human figure is a recurring theme and Kim’s obsession with the human body started when she was young after experiencing a rare body condition and medical examinations as part of her daily life.
Q&A – William Reinsch
William Reinsch is a young artist who is perhaps one of the most exciting new talents at work in the UK today. An astounding ability with figurative work, work which conveys as much about Reinsch as an artist as it does about the subjects he paints. Working from his studio in Essex, Reinsch is what the art world classes as an “outsider”, an artist with huge talent and yet not the product of formal art school training; perhaps in this instance, such training may have been counter-productive.
