Amalia Ulman – Tate Modern, London

<p>Amalia Ulman's work <em>Excellences & Perfections </em>forms part of Tate Modern's exhibition <em>Performing for the Camera</em> curated by Simon Baker, Senior Curator, Tate Modern with Fiontán Moran, Assistant Curator, Tate Modern.</p><p>Amalia Ulman shot to fame with a spoof delivered through her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amaliaulman/?hl=en">Instagram account</a>, which fooled both her own followers and art-world critics. Over the course of four months Ulman produced an elaborate performance through Instagram posts, pretending to move to Los Angeles and trying to fit in by having plastic surgery and taking up Californian hobbies. Ulman’s work was a brilliantly convincing version of the celebrity Instagram craze where millions of ‘followers’ apparently seem to care what pop stars and reality TV personalities had for breakfast (Simon Baker).</p><p>Exhibition dates:<br>February 18 &mdash; June 12, 2016</p><p>More info:<br><a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/performing-camera" target="_blank">tate.org.uk</a></p>
