The Tate has hired new curators. One specialises in ´ecology’. Bit of a joke considering the size of Tate Modern’s carbon footprint. Just think how many rainforests are needed to keep the escalators going! I just wish I could understand a word she says! theartnewspaper.com/2023/09/01/tat…
@JANUSZCZAK They practice "conservation" by protecting the vast quantities of empty space between works of art. This makes the art seem more important than it really is, so we don't need to look at as much of it. Big energy savings for both artists and viewers!
@JANUSZCZAK An appropriate new direction to be welcomed.
@JANUSZCZAK It’s extraordinary, and sad, that an institution that claims to champion ‘inclusion’ chooses to employ people whose use of such arcane, exclusionary, and, ultimately, meaningless, language suggests that they believe themselves to be members of some sort of aesthetic priesthood.
@JANUSZCZAK She makes it clear that she is “particularly interested in ecological imaginaries, sensory and sonic modes of attention to the more-than-human, border ecologies and listening as a practice of care' Bet she's fun at a party
@JANUSZCZAK An addition to the pile of bricks (was it a Turner prize?) could be bags of peat-free compost, as an ‘inspired’ installation.
@JANUSZCZAK “Soil is and remains a space of struggle and conflict.” Indeed. The soil in my garden is indicative of the daily battle against weeds and the attempt to grow an interesting plant.
@JANUSZCZAK Supported by Tate staff like Bella Sereno and Estate team we provide for over 10 years free creative environmental awareness creating workshops at Tate Britain. This year we have started a new neighbourhood stakeholder group exploring a regenerative Millbank Conservation Area!
@JANUSZCZAK Nothing but Bafflegab, I expect she loves the sound of her own voice
@JANUSZCZAK Listening as a practice of care???
