Embodied Violence and Persistent Ambivalence (LUKE BURTON)

Guest artist LUKE BURTON joins me to chat about his work via Ben Lerner's 2019 novel 'The Topeka School'. The story revolves around Adam Gordon and his parents, and the ambivalence of language as both a pathway to reparation and a driving force towards violence.  Luke Burton and I go on to discuss his own ambivalence, working with and against male and masculine archetypes in Western art. We acknowledge the ability of psychotherapy to excavate knowledge you didn't previous have about yourself, the selective access to language, the aggression within public rhetoric and language as spells.  LUKE BURTON lukeburton.tumblr.com bosseandbaum.com/artists/luke-burton instagram luke_p_burton 'Impossible Weather' solo exhibition 2020 Bosse and Baum 'The Artist Oracle' Sep 2021 White Crypt ARTISTS & ARTWORK Coptic Textiles Donald Judd Hans Holbein the Younger Lee Krasner Neil Cummings 'Rebel Without A Cause' 1955 film BOOKS & WRITERS Adam Phillips 'Attention Seeking' 2019 Ben Lerner 'Leaving the Atocha Station' 2011 Ben Lerner '10:04' 2014 Ben Lerner 'Contest of Words' Harper's Magazine 2016 Harriet Lerner, clinical psychologist and author Isabel Hardman 'Why We Get the Wrong Politicians' 2018 Lidija Haas 'The Guardian' 4 Nov 2019 Owen Jones 'The Grammar of Ornament' 1856 Rachel Kusk 'Outline' 2014 'Transit' 2016 'Kudos' 2018 GALLERIES & ORGANISATIONS Barbican Gallery, London Girton College, University of Cambridge  Victoria and Albert Museum V&A
