Welcome to the Jake Chapman blog for Young Tate. Artist, Jake Chapman has set an artistic challenge (see the first post dated 11th April). If you would like to join in the dialogue and respond to the challenge then post your comments to the blog or e-mail images to the Young Tate group on young@tate.org.uk.
Oliver McConnie sent in this etching he made. He says, “I’m a 21 year old artist and just graduated from art school. I saw Jake Chapman’s blog page, I thought maybe he would like my etching as it is influenced very much by his art.”
The Young Tate group in Liverpool have made videos of their responses to Jake Chapman’s question ‘Is destruction a necessary process in overcoming traditional forms of art?’
Here they talk about the Chapman challenge and the 2007 Turner Prize, which has been in Liverpool for the first time.
