Painting has since the 1990´s been regarded as an accepted - and even radical - form of social, conceptual and institutional critique. It came into fashion again under the slogan of network painting, a loose term which imagined the artist´s personal social sphere, and the passage of the art work within it, as intrinsic to the work´s materials and meanings. While finally breaking with the modernist idea of a pure and clearly delimited medium, this approach introduced new problems. It delivered precisely those social relations that today´s new economy is busy absorbing. Avery Singer´s paintings will be presented as a way of addressing, even dramatizing these problems artistically without offering a way out or a solution.
