Issue 2

In this month’s issue, Thomas Hirschhorn talks about what it means to be an artist, and why art should be a tool to challenge society, a line that William Hogarth would certainly have endorsed. Cartoonist Martin Rowson champions Hogarth as the supreme satirist of his times, while artist Dan Graham finds a link between John Martin's nineteenth-century paintings of the apocalypse and extreme religiosity in America today. We’d welcome feedback on these and the rest of the films to tateshots@tate.org.uk – Jane Burton, Editor, TateShots, 29 March 2007.
