It’s All About You, And Millions Of Others

So week twelve at the turner galleries, I've been half dreading half excited to write this blog. There is just too much that I could say about Stuart Elliot's work in particular. We plodded along to the turner gallery, preparing to be wowed and boy were my prayers answered this week. In the front room were some pieces of Stuart Elliot, I didn't take much notice of the paintings and strange figures and moved into the first gallery room. Upon entry I was nearly knocked off my feet by the enormous amount of work in front of me, but I had to move on into the next room before I got swallowed up. So into the back room to view Anna Nazzari's work, I wasn't impressed. Sure the fluorescent colours and narrative pieces grabbed my curiosity at first,  It was lost when I saw those damn diorama boxes and tanks. I really thought all the magic and intrigue of the work was ripped away from us and it became grounded. I could not view the work the same way, she did herself a disservice. Back into Elliot's world I went and I was completely taken by it again! I wont feed you too much info of it otherwise my critique will have nothing left to say, just kidding I could keep going on forever about is work. It spoke dark industrial age, then of destruction and painted abandoned apocalyptic scenes, and weird tongue/plant creatures taking over everything and all this meaning just kept pouring out throughout the work. And then it hit me.. Where are the people? "Oh dear" I thought, was he showing us the end of the world? Was all lost in this future?  I went back into the front room again and saw those people, but I don't believe they were people at all but they were the weird tongue things because they all had the same slash down the back... creeeepy So many links between each of his works nearly made my head explode.

The NYT's Stuart Elliot reports on a "shocking" new campaign designed to get people to think twice about lung cancer, but raises questions as to whether or not the campaign by Laughlin Constable is riveting or just revolting.
