does young mean better? that’s what everyone at the fiac was apparently intending to say. the confrontation beteween young galleries representing young artists (hall 5) and the more established galleries with famous artists (hall 4) took place also this year. in my opinon the hall 5 galleries tend to show smaller and similar (mostly drawings) but the energy was there but who can beat a drawing by bruce nauman that you could see on display hall 4? hall 5 was still a great oportunity to discover new artists. it’s too late to check for yourself since fiac is now finsihed…
ps: check out www.inanycase.org to get more information on point of view: a box of ten dvd containing exclusive videos and interviews by artists such as pipilotti rist, douglas gordon, joan jonas (my favourite).
by for tonight, nn
