Remix: Contemporary Art and Pop
Het is niet nieuw en ook niet cool - daar hoeven we bij de Tate Gallery toch al niet bang voor te zijn - maar stiekem wel leuk om te zien: hoe musea omgaan met de relatie beeldende kunst - popmuziek.
"The exhibition includes paintings, videos, sculptures and installations by twenty international artists who engage with genres as varied as psychedelia, techno, rock, heavy metal, soul, hip hop and film soundtracks. The collective euphoria of crowds, clubbers and pop audiences is explored in works by Doug Aitken, Andreas Gursky, Mark Leckey and Rineke Dijkstra. The excitement of performance is explored in Andrea Bowers’ video installation featuring players on a complex karaoke dance routine machine and Gillian Wearing’s video of air guitarists. Fandom and the fascination with pop celebrities is the subject of paintings by Dexter Dalwood, Gary Hume, Dawn Mellor, Chris Ofili and Elizabeth Peyton. The remix attitude is explored in works with numerous musical and visual references by Angela Bulloch, Ricky Swallow, Wolfgang Tillmans and Julian Opie."
