NOW (Gosia Wlodarczak, drawing 1986 - 2004)

NOW is a place, the place to be, NOW.

David Bromfield's NOW is a study of the work of Gosia Wlodarczak in the context of Australian and International art over the last century. Bromfield demonstrates that her working strategy is NOW, a brilliant attempt to remain in the absolute present, together with her work. This, he argues, has long been the unacknowledged goal of art and artists from impressionism to the present day.

NOW the new millennium with its cult of false irony, debased scandal, second-degree references, careerism, and passive production, to order has reduced the experience of contemporary art to a sophisticated shopping ritual for those with too much cultural capital to spend. This has produced a CRISIS OF PRESENCE that pervades all art NOW. Gosia Wlodarczak's unique drawing and performance is NOW the most vivacious, refreshing, response to this crisis. Every work she makes adds to the substance of NOW her continuous present. Bromfield shows how she developed her approach though an analysis of her work over two decades

The artist has collaborated with the author to design a book that is itself intensely beautiful, a discreet side entrance to NOW. Forget the Future--Dismantle the Past We need art NOW.

.... thank you for the reference about the bookmarks exchange

I know .pdf files are not as friendly as it should be but it's a
practical way to have forms and document with the design you want.
Well, the rules are in html on the website.

I don't write often on Printaustralia, difficulties to write easily
in english, but I read most of the post.
Lots of informations
