Dada's Boys. Fruitmarket Gallery 18/06/06


V dull except for the more recent stuff.
Sarah Lucas value for money of course. (The photo of Sarah Lucas with a skull really looks like Barrie Humphries.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Lucas

Matthew Barney is out on his own, but I didn't spend too much time there as I have seen his stuff. (I don't know if it is just me but I would prefer one artist as a time rather than these group exhibitions.) http://unit.bjork.com/specials/dr9/


I liked Keith Farquhar who was new to me. The rules of attraction. About courting / sex. It is an installation of pretty mirrors with Calvin Kelin y-fronts and huge glasses of mock white wine. I always think galleries are sexy places anyway. And this put an exhibition party into a different league. It was like a giant game (of 'get laid'). Funny. Is that all there is to the attraction business?
