Conceptual Art

Must modern international art be conceptual, bland and boring? According to the latest exhibition at the Lisson Gallery in London the answers are Yes, Yes and Yes. The gallery specializes in conceptual art and is currently showing the most bland and boring conceptual artist I've come across: Rashid Rana. He is Pakistan's most successful artist commercially with an international reputation, but his art isn't good enough for my blog. BBC News sent the delectable Mishal Husain to the Lisson Gallery (CLICK) to interview Rashid about his rubbish (title link). Only a woman of her charm and beauty could make this video worth viewing. For some insane reason, the backing music chosen is Spanish guitar, which is irritating in context. Auntie, couldn't you find some appropriate music from Pakistan, maybe some tabla drumming?

You can take a look at Momardi. Tuesday's blog about Visual Arts in London. Tales of a girl working her way into the contemporary art scene.

Very nice stuff.

Cheers
