The art of bluff – now let’s have a real critic
Though I would have many questions about the Cork Open, do not submit work to it, and am not a selector, I know it to be a serious, important and professionally run contemporary art event.
The people who determine the programme are informed, critical and put a lot of consideration into choosing the work. The artists who submit work are mostly of the younger generation who have studied for years and who are involved in the vital and lively process of creating art which reflects the values, fears and issues of the times we live in.
