Liam Gillick

If Liam Gillick is interviewed by his collector, is that art if his art has a component of relational aesthetics?

What I really want to remember or wish I heard correctly, is that he said his art isn't to mirror society or be a critique of it but to... and what the hell he said i can't gezz remember and didn't quite hear. Not a mirror, not a reflection, but... i mean something new? what? what could it have been? it's very frustrating to not know and have no way of knowing unless Moore actually posts the video. ..

Interestingly, they did post the Curating and... series of panel discussions... http://www.thegalleriesatmoore.org/site/programs/curatorial_conversations

OK as of Nov 18 the Galleries at Moore are working on uploading the conversation. This is kind of exciting because I met find the answer. yay.

good night.

wait i have to finish my thought. if it's about relationships and not the audience relationship or his relationship to the audience or itself but about art world relationships then this interview was indeed an art piece. and that i find fascinating.

ok bye.

wait ps. then at one point i talked to him after the symposium conversation thing with his collector who has over 1200 pieces of art in his collection (mind boggles) and he gradually led me to a tall table near the bar after getting a glass of wine after i followed him from greeting and meeting introductions post talk. the most powerful moment was after he made me look up at the ceiling of the atrium which i've seen a zillion times from working there in the past and then gazed and we talked but it was the moment of the gaze that was the magic. i've seen it with other artists i know / had that moment.

draw your own conclusions . 339am blogging. why didn't i say hi to the collector too from the knights foundation? and how do you have 1200 pieces of art work. 1200. 1200. did i say 1200????
