Cedar began what he called his 'first lecture' by taking about exhibitions and art displays that he had run/been a part of. Previous to the work he has done at the Tate Modern, Cedar had helped at smaller galleries with half the budget of the Tate. He quoted "going from a budget of a few hundreds of pounds to thousands". , "the zero's have changed, but the process is the same". Cedars career rocketed when he took part in organising Rings of Saturn at the Tate Modern.
One of the main features of Cedars exhibitions are his fanzines, he believes that they are "travelling exhibitions" and can be taken and displayed anywhere.
I found the second part of the lecture more interesting, it was about the street art side of his career. He has published two books around street art and telling us what he defines as art.
Interesting quotes:
"no artist is fully accepted by everyone"
"people say that anybody can do that, but anybody didn't"
Tutorial:
I had a one-to-one tutorial with Cedar, we didn't have much time, but I showed him some of the photographs I have taken and the work I have produced from them. H said he liked the work I did where I folded into the images and manipulated the images I had taken myself. Cedar suggested that i tried producing them on a larger scale as they would have more of an impact, but he got where my work was coming from and told me to peruse with it and try different folding methods. The idea of making a fanzine came up, to which I suggested I would rather create a little book if I got the opportunity.
