In The Observer this weekend I come across this article and the image above blow me away. I know Baltanski’s work and this is not a leap out into the open for him but striking none the less. I enjoyed the writing in the article as well which can be hit and miss in some reviews, please follow the link here. I have enjoyed watching this series at the Grand Palais, Paris but never made it down (although would have loved to see the Serra piece last year) I like the idea of an art pilgrimage and gets me to thinking maybe buying work is not the only important part of being a collector but in seeing art you can contribute to the culture of support that art needs.
It also gets me thinking about un-sellable art and how we could contribute to this culture in York. Would installation art add to our exhibitions? All in all we put art up for people to see, we need some collectors however we also need this culture of viewing, supporting and educating about art. Hopefully our events can achieve this.
