There was a TV-program called Kazakhstan Swings (More 4) which I saw yesterday. It featured some of the greatest artists working in the former Soviet satellite state Kazakhstan. Somewhere between the enormous concrete buildings and the flotsam and jetsam people below on the streets there seems to be a scene for modern art. This show reminded me of a of a series previously aired on Channel 4 called ArtShock (The show Is bad art for bad people in particular). However, ArtShock focused mainly on western artists. One artist represented in Is bad art for bad people was Paul McCarthy who's art is also exhibited in Moderna Museet during this summer (McCarthy at Moderna in English/Swedish). Dagens Nyheter had a piece about the exhibition (In Swedish: article/interview).Tuesday, June 20, 2006
