Tensta in Love!

Celebrations of national pride usually revolt me with their invention of nationhood as a form of nostalgia and their parading of ersatz symbols of so called collective culture. Worse! They also create a forum for nationalist extremism and the normalisation of bigotry hidden behind a pathetic patriotism.


  

Love Tensta

If the saccharine tabloid sentimentality of the forthcoming royal Swedish marriage has you singing Sex Pistol lyrics or mumbling about Cromwell, Danton and Jefferson. If you feel that the word love has been hijacked by yellow press mock sensationalism and begin to fear that nationalist sentimentality may never end. There is hope.

multicultural death

Multicultural, a word that should be confined to history. Overused, poorly used and used as gloss, the word is most often applied as an excuse for not wanting to tackle straight on issues of ethnicity and diversity, particularly those including potential conflict.


  

artists as colonizers

Estate agents see artists as their best friends, pioneers willing to venture into the danger zones of suburban sprawl bringing class and culture in their wake. The artist as a colonist, a missionary or evangelist, the curator as colonial officer!


  

Trio ABC

1966 was an extraordinary year for culture. Bergman’s Persona, Warhol’s Chelsea Girls, Richard Hamilton at the Tate, Oldenburg’s Soft Bathtub, Primary Structures at the Jewish Museum, the opening of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf and Yvonne Rainer performs Trio A for the first time.
