This catalogue includes excerpts from a public discussion of the exhibition with Mel Gooding, Barry Barker and the artist.

"...'Among the Believers' is specifically about political evevts in Iraq since spring 2003. It is also about the way the media presented these events to us. And it is about painting. It is questioning wether painting is an adequate and relevant medium to address political events at a time of continual saturation by mass media information."

"...aesthethis means bringing to life through the immediacy of impact, and that's the difference between the secondary and the primary and that's what i think you're getting at when you talk about the limitations of painting, and that you want to press it further forward. You want to push it into our field of feeling in a direct and immediate way."

Artist Madeleine Strindberg
