from Tate Papers - Issue 8 -
Inherent Vice: The Replica and its Implications in Modern Sculpture Workshop
go to contents
The latest issue of Tate Papers has a wide-ranging and interesting compilation of papers looking at a core problem in the conservation of modern and contemporary artworks - that of replacing damaged or badly deteriorated components of an artwork (or even the entire artwork).
And while there at Tate's website, do swing round and visit their video podcast TateShots with a host of behing-the-exhibition look at artist's processes and thoughts.
P.S. A big apology to everyone for dropping off the face of this blog in the last few months. Work, both in and outside of Singapore, had been hectic, to say the least. Hope to see more of everyone in the new year!

Happy new year! Hope everyone has a good start. Havent been blogging and working on stuff i should be doing due to great procrastination. It is an easy excuse to blame it on christmas and new year festive, but i had quite a good one. Got a few really nice presents for myself and others and saw a few good mates, which serenely ended my 2007. And if there is one resolution i would ever make and follow religiously, that will be... plan your christmas shopping early!
.
First blog of the year is from Richard Flanagan who rethink art again, putting it back where it was once stemmed on a free ground of self-expression from the nowadays-let's-sell-art-and-Guggenheim era.
Like art, some things in life, you just cant buy and sell, like love from a mother, the crush on the girl in your class, the finest moment in your life, the thought you have for the person you are buying your next christmas present for. And i dont think art has as a category as its own strictly(am i right to say that??)- it almost encompasses everything in life from feelings, lifestyle, sciences to paintbrush. There is so much about art and human life one can marvel. Let's all keep exploring and live a better wiser year. Peace. x
