ALFREDO JAAR :
The Garden of Good and Evil

By Elizabeth Fullerton

New York-based Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar makes work that gets beneath the skin. While the content is taken from incidents of state oppression, genocide, famine and human rights abuse (and Jaar’s own experience of these atrocities), the force of his work is its poetry.

Dalí/Duchamp

By Elizabeth Fullerton

The exhibition at London’s Royal Academy of Arts reveals strong affinities and a surprisingly deep friendship between the two 20th century artistic legends.
