David Blackmore: An interview

Abstract

Artist and educator David Blackmore talks about his work, but chiefly how current affairs influence his art practice and the artworld at large. With a studio and an outdoors practice, much of his work is tied to a sense of system and how he fits – or not – in this system, making ‘the border’ a recurrent theme in his imaginary. From the concept of border to the realm of media, we explore in this interview notions of propaganda, art in the digital age, post-truth, life as an artist and other topical insights for those who use critical thinking in their practice.
