Alt Pop: Jacques Coetzee

Used and in good condition

Coetzer described Alt Pop to me as mid-life crisis retrospective blah blah, laconically epitomized by the polyurethane Mid-Life Surfer, but which I think is rather disingenuously dismissive of a rather remarkable project. Whatever the content of the exhibition, his choice to curate himself in a publication that tracks biographys influence on production (and vice versa) demonstrates a fairly seamless and convincing imbrication of the stuff-and-nonsense of life with the stuff-and-substance of art.
