Abstract:	The final exhibition of this touring exhibition in which 61 contemporary artists (extra artists have been added as the exhibition toured) have made new artworks in response to a postcard version of Velázquez's masterpiece, Las Meninas for an exhibition at Pineapple Black, Middlesbrough ‘Enough is Definitely Enough’ features a huge variety of different artistic responses to the Spanish painter's masterpiece - arguably the most widely interpreted of all paintings. Art Historian Daniel Arasse reflected many people's view that everything, or perhaps even nothing, has been said about Las Meninas -"what's the difference, enough is definitely enough!". The artists in the exhibition build upon previous interpretations by renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso, Richard Hamilton, Francesco Goya and Eve Sussman. Artists have long been actively influenced by the centuries old painting by Velázquez; with their responses, in turn, offering influence back to Las Meninas to enable new readings. With the artworks made for 'Enough is Definitely Enough' there is potential for new relationships with Velasquez's original painting to open up. The exhibition is curated by Andrew Bracey and forms part of his PhD research at the University of Lincoln. He is exploring how contemporary artists have used and appropriated existing paintings by other artists, through a position of using the metaphor of the parasite and symbiosis in connection with painting. The exhibition is touring from General Practice, Lincoln with new artists being added for subsequent venues.
