    THE JEAN-NOËL HERLIN ARCHIVE PROJECT Jean-Noël Herlin New York City 2005 Table of Contents Introduction i Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups 1 Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups. Selections A-D 77 Group events and clippings by title 109 Group events without title / Organizations 129 Periodicals 149 Introduction In the context of my activity as an antiquarian bookseller I began in 1973 to acquire exhibition invitations/announcements and poster/mailers on painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance, and video. I was motivated by the quasi-neglect in which these ephemeral primary sources in art history were held by American commercial channels, and the project to create a database towards the bibliographic recording of largely ignored material. Documentary value and thinness were my only criteria of inclusion. Sources of material were random. Material was acquired as funds could be diverted from my bookshop. With the rapid increase in number and diversity of sources, my initial concept evolved from a documentary to a study archive project on international visual and performing arts, reflecting the appearance of new media and art making/producing practices, globalization, the blurring of lines between high and low, and the challenges to originality and quality as authoritative criteria of classification and appreciation. In addition to painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance and video, the Jean-Noël Herlin Archive Project includes material on architecture, design, caricature, comics, animation, mail art, music, dance, theater, photography, film, textiles and the arts of fire. It also contains material on galleries, collectors, museums, foundations, alternative spaces, and clubs.

  • The New York City Waterfalls
    Media Contact Stacy Bolton Communications Tel: 212 721 5350 Email: [email protected] Public Art Fund Celebrates Final Days of Olafur Eliasson’s The New York City Waterfalls OCTOBER 14, 2008 – NEW YORK: The Public Art Fund commemorates the end of The New York City Waterfalls, the major work of public art by internationally acclaimed artist Olafur Eliasson, which was on view from June 26 through October 13, 2008. Commissioned by Public Art Fund and presented in collaboration with the City of New York, the exhibition is among the most ambitious works of public art created to date. It succeeded in turning the New York City waterfront into an artistic venue, and its reach went far beyond those who saw it in New York, with countless web pages, blogs and interactive sites created by the public who were captivated by the project. Throughout the exhibition’s 110 days, millions of people were drawn to the Riverfront in Manhattan and Brooklyn, as well as to Governors Island, and given an opportunity to consider artist Olafur Eliasson’s vision for integrating nature into the urban environment. The project spoke to art enthusiasts who sought out the Waterfalls, as well as passersby who encountered them unexpectedly; viewers included pedestrians, subway riders, bicyclists, joggers, and drivers across the bridges and riverfront highways in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The partnership of Circle Line Downtown enabled the public to experience the Waterfalls by boat and from the river, which was part of the artist’s vision from the outset. In presenting this exhibition, Public Art Fund has fulfilled its mission: to bring artworks outside the traditional context of museums and galleries, and provide a unique platform for an unparalleled public encounter with the art of our time.
