hi guys,
I really enjoyed Sophie Calle and Faisal Al Abdullah, two related but almost counterposing exhibitions around ideas of portraiture.. at the Whitechapel... if you are interested in portraiture and/or dialogical models of work these two adopt completely different ways of working, but both seem to offer a portrait or interpretation of another person.
also this frieze discussion on theory as suggested by Andy and Sarah is really well worth a listen.. esp to Simon Critchley's points about a few philosophical theories being used to cover artists works wholesale "like a margarine"!
