A thirst for the ‘other’
Amar Kanwar’s video installation ‘The Lightning Testimonies’ inhabits its own room, and thus somewhat shifts the viewer away from the hectoring curatorial excess of the exhibition as a whole.
A veneer of the carnivalesque
Kelley’s strength as an artist as highlighted by this retrospective is his position as a modern day Rabelais, refusing to romanticise the material he appropriates and the ideas he works from, any more than denigrate them.
