  • James Kalm recorded a walking tour of "What Is Painting" at MoMA in 2007. That program was one of the earliest, most highly viewed and commented on episodes of the Report to date. Seven years later, "The Forever Now" again presents a rare opportunity for lovers of painting to witness what the World's most prestigious institution of visual culture considers significant. The show's theme is premised on the notion that the internet has allowed information and influences to transcend time. This has freed artists from reflecting their own eras, while casting them into a mediated timelessness. Organized by Curator Laura Hoptman, this exhibition includes works by Richard Aldrich, Joe Bradley, Kerstin Brätsch, Matt Connors, Michaela Eichwald, Nicole Eisenman, Mark Grotjahn, Charline von Heyl, Rashid Johnson, Julie Mehretu, Dianna Molzan, Oscar Murillo, Laura Owens, Amy Sillman, Josh Smith, Mary Weatherford, and Michael Williams.

    Thanks, James. Living on the other side of the planet in Australia, I don't often get the opportunity see what's happening in NYC at first hand. So, discovering your channel has been a terrific plus in remedying the 'tyranny of distance', and the next best thing to being there. Looking forward to your next tour.

    Another great one. A lot of people don't care for the abstract stuff, but I find the creativity stimulating. I can certainly respect figurative as well or even someone super commercial like Thomas Kinkade, but a melting pot of art and ideas just makes it all the more worthwhile.

    cool james!great experience . just like you said many of them seem to be very under transavanguardia or neoexpressionism ,its great because 20 years later you see things more clear ,and this is the artist expressing himself with no conceptual or minimal obligations,the show was about this expecific painting,,back the reality is that painting is back! and stronger for me newest and contemporary are; Luc tuyman,Neo Rauch,Daniel richter,whilem Sasnal,Santiago idanez,Matthias weischer,martinez Celaya,Oscar murillo,Dana schultz,Ariel Cabrera ,and many more...

    Thank you so much for all your effort in putting these videos out here for us all, cheers James! I couldn't help but catch you referencing a fellow Canadian artist while you were viewing Mark Grotjahn's paintings and I just had to ask if you meant Jean-Paul Riopelle?

  • @nigelsandeman2642
    @nigelsandeman2642 Před 4 lety +1

    Older painters can produce new and fresh work as well. So really age has nothing to do with artistic output. In fact cumulative experience and wisdom can potentially be even more engaging.

    Loren, your work on these exhibitions is so great (many, many thanks), but your pronounciation of some of the names is abominal. By the way, your voice is also exceptionally pleasant to listen to.

    • @myswanktrendz
      @myswanktrendz Před 7 lety

      Which names were messed up (so I don't continue the mispronunciation)?

  • @pablopicoso
    @pablopicoso Před 3 lety +1

    Love your understanding of art history. Would prefer if you posted after editing to remove the walking and you could slow down the video as you pass over the images for a steadier view. If you must, you could still use your onsite commentary or better yet you could re-record or dub the video in the edit.
    Keep it up 👍🏽

    Thank you. I saw too little courage or passion, way too much felt like grad school theses art. I wonder if that's because there are no real benchmarks to strive for in the quality of art presently.

    Unfriendly suppost tho... I had that once in a museum where I was working as a vollunteer, closed at 18h and at a quarter to six they were really agressively throwing me out. I couldn' finnish the 2 last rooms bc that would interfear of them beeing out of the museum at 18h. Incredible and unrespectable imo. Especially for a museum that persues a public funtcion. A suppost should be calm and flexible. At least grant you the 5min marge to finnish up or smth, smh.
