Mr trecartin just recently won the innaugural Jack Wolgin prize for fine arts. It's a $150,000 prize - the largest fine art prize in the world. May I note that the Pritzker Prize for architecture (given to only the most notable architects) is a $100,000 prize. The exhibition was fairly similar to the one described above, however I was privileged as a Tyler Student (architecture) to see him speak at the Tyler School where the award and subsequent lecture were given. Trecartin is not the most articulate man. He is very pop culture himself, and dresses in funny shirts like most artists. I have to say that he at least spoke with some assurance as to knowing what his videos were about. But I kept getting the sense that he sticks to the same motifs, same style, because he is young, successful, and getting attention. I see some development in the work, but not enough over the amount of time that he has been doing work to see any significant evolution or mastery of even his own art. I'm personally not his biggest fan, but regardless of my critique of his videos, I think it much more interesting to see how or if his work develops as he gets older.
