SUMMARY:Cornerstone: Cornerstone: Artist's Talk / Discussion: Andrew Bick (
 The Conversation)
DESCRIPTION:Cornerstone Festival: Andrew Bick (The Conversation)\n\nMonday\
 , 23 November 2015 Time: 19.30\nFree Admission.\n\nDetails on Cornerstone 
 website\nTo reserve tickets please email cornerstonefestival@hope.ac.uk\n
 \nIn 2011 Andrew Bick curated an exhibition of four key British Artists\, 
 Anthony Hill\, Peter Lowe\, Jeffrey Steele and Gillian Wise for Galerie vo
 n Bartha in Basel. All the artists are now in their late 70s or 80s and ar
 e know for their trenchant opinions and uncompromising attitude to how the
 ir work has been overlooked and undervalued. The title chosen for the exhi
 bition was The Conversation.\n\nThe Conversation\, 1974\, is also the titl
 e of a film starring Gene Hackman and directed by Frances Ford Coppola. Ha
 ckman plays a surveillance expert adept at splicing complete conversations
  together from sound fragments gathered through covertly placed microphone
 s\, in a tale of spying and paranoia from the time of the Watergate scanda
 l…\n\nThe parallel between film and exhibition was intentionally mischie
 vous\; half caught dialogue\, miss heard and misunderstood statements\, sh
 ifting patterns of understanding\, these form in any conversations where t
 rust and understanding is not absolute…\n\nContemporary art is often wea
 kened by its poor grasp of work from the past\; similarly older artists wh
 o are made to feel redundant see no reason to engage with an art world tha
 t seems to have no use for them…\n\nFollowing on from a paper given for 
 the seminar Staging Painting (ICA 21 July 2015) Artist and curator Andrew 
 Bick will lead a discussion panel with invited guests on conversation as a
  means of making exhibitions. Bick uses the ideas of art historical resear
 ch both for making painting and for organising exhibitions in collaborativ
 e contexts.\n\nDialogue\, as a means of reinterpreting overlooked and unde
 rvalued artists and of reappraising contemporary practice\, through an ast
 ute adjustment of its relationship with the past\, is central to Bick’s 
 methods and this panel will reflect his current exhibition project with Li
 verpool Hope University and present his engagement with the work of some o
 f his key collaborators.
