Their choice of writers and the elegant design makes it a rewarding read Thomas Demand, artist About Tate Etc. It has taken decades, and the efforts and enthusiasm of many individuals, to make Tate what it is today. Inspired by the galleries but independent of them, Tate Etc. uses Tate collections, events and projects as starting points to explore the visual arts scene on an international scale. From essays to interviews, from cutting-edge studio work to archive highlights, Tate Etc. follows the work creating the most interesting debate, and explores its context, history and meaning. We blend the historic, the modern and the contemporary to show that art does not exist in a vacuum, but is rooted in many traditions.
Tate Etc. is a good smelling treasure trove of wild, mind-blowing texts and pictures.Pipilotti Rist, artist Sustainability. Spring 2013 - RA Magazine and Blog.
