After ljubljana

May 10th, 2009 by Charles Esche

Four of us – Christiane, Dianne, Steven and I have been at the Next Step conference organized by Moderna Galerija in Ljubljana throughout the weekend. It was an excellent, revealing and fascinating conference. I hope there will be much said about the content of the sessions by us all in the future, but sitting in the airport on the way home wanted to record one statement by Sheena Wagstaff from the Tate Modern London. She said, in answer to a question that “the Tate’s turbine hall is a non-ideological space’ maybe she misspoke, but the thinking to allow such a speech act is quite remarkable.

    This kind of willing naivete is what gets us out of all kinds of things. I’m intrigued to hear more ‘faux pas’ if indeed this was one!
