An Aside. Selected by Tacita Dean
Kurt Schwitters painted stones. 1945-7
Roni Horn Brink of Infinity. 1995. Sea breaking over rocks. Photo or painting? HAUNTING.
Rodney Graham. 2003 Rheinmetat. I thought this was a STANDOUT. A film of snow falling on a vintage German typwriter. Black v white. Metal vs snowflake. Cold and cold. Nature vs machine. Monumental vs transient. I hate the British obession with WW2, but it did also seem to be about ingenuity and brilliance and the perversion of.
Othar Baumgarten Mosquitos. Which was a bunch of bread rolls with feathers. 1969. A joke's as good as a rest.
Joseph Beuys goden coloured portrait bust bronze of a girl 1947. Surprisingly naturalistic and skilful. A type of artifice he decided to move awat from.
Yvan Salomone. Watercolours of Waste-scapes. The sort of mournful industrial landscapes I always enjoy.
