Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith on Eva Rothschild
Claire Bishop and Boris Groys on Futurism
To coincide with Tate Modern's 'Futurism' exhibition, TATE ETC. brings together two art professionals to explore this history.
Christoph Grunenberg interviews Ellsworth Kelly
Colour Chart: Tate Liverpool's exhibition 'Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour, 1950 to Today' explores the moment in twentieth-century art when a group of artists began to perceive colour as "readymade" rather than purely scientific or expressive. The gallery's director talks to one of its leading practitioners.
Robert MacFarlane on Richard Long
To coincide with Tate Britain's Richard Long retrospective, Robert Macfarlane looks at the importance of walking in his work, and Long himself asks "Why stop skimming stones when you grow up?"
Anthony d'Offay and others on ARTIST ROOMS
ARTIST ROOMS: Last year one of the largest donations of art in Britain was made by Anthony d'Offay. The collection of more than 700 works by leading artists, known as ARTIST ROOMS and assembled over the past 28 years, is now owned jointly by the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) and Tate on behalf of the nation. This year Tate sites, NGS and thirteen museums and galleries across the UK are showing more than 30 ARTIST ROOMS in the first tour of the collection. TATE ETC. talks to Anthony d'Offay about the impetus behind the project, and also to a selection of the artists on display.
