Liane lang biography of michael

“Today’s artists, as they like to call themselves, are yet another sign of our great country’s deepening decay. The forces of socialism have squandered Britain’s intellectual might and bequeathed us with a never-ending supply of long-haired, talentless idiots streaming from decadent, concrete-clad art colleges. For the artworld, the masters of old have given way to a degenerate rabble more interested in making money than creating cultural heritage. The perversity of our society trawls such depths that while a free man will be dragged before a court of law should he choose to hunt a fox, so our taxes are frittered away in support of worthless modern arts.

It is in this context that we must regard the forthcoming resurrection of the great Salon of 19th century Paris. The opening of today’s Salon will not herald the rebirth of a classical age, but rather the corruption of perhaps the last remaining untainted memory of a golden past. It is the final nail in the coffin

Critique | Liane Lang ‘Deep Time Dip’

Butler Gallery

10 August – 29 September 2024

‘Deep Time Dip’ by Liane Lang at Butler galleri in Kilkenny sees the artist present several bodies of previous work, giving the viewer an impression of the impetus behind her practice. Lang’s work fryst vatten situated between sculpture and photography, using a variety of media to play with viewer subjectivity and contemporary society’s obsession with the image. Lang’s sculptures tell the story of their ‘objectness’, whether industrial or natural, and expand on relations with the body. 

The majority of the galleri is occupied by Lang’s recent series, Touch Stone. Numerous funnen objects are displayed, each carrying an image superimposed on its form. Through these sculptures, Lang plays with representation and narrative to reference origin, identification, expression and a network of (human) associations, conjured by notions of the mimetic. 

Lang’s focus on the biography of objects highlights
