    ART Ulrike Gossarth - Were I Made Of Matter, I Would Color Sternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783956790683 Acqn 23988 Hb 19x25cm 352pp 91ills 77col £28 Edited by Sabine Folie, Ilse Lafer Texts by Mieke Bal, Rainer Borgemeister, Sabine Folie, Michael Glasmeier, Ulrike Grossarth, Dietrich Karner, Elliot R. Wolfson This book is published on occasion of Ulrike Grossarth’s eponymous retrospective at the Generali Foundation in Vienna. Both the book and the exhibition trace the evolution of Gossarth’s practice, with a particular emphasis on her training as a dancer in the 1970s, to draw connections between the early years with her sculptural settings and actions and her most recent work, which engages with history more generally. In her contributing essay, Ulrike Gossarth states that the title—Were I Made of Matter, I Would Color—is a counter-model to the fundamental Descartian formula “I think therefore I am,” a position which exists between consciousness and disembodiment, in a state of incompleteness. Rainer Borgemeister discusses the artist’s actions from 1978 to 1987, which were preceded by her critical engagement with modern dance. Further contributions from Mieke Bal, Michael Glasmeier, and Elliot R. Wolfson discuss Grossarth’s practice in relation to history, the body, and polymorphism.

Conceived as a kind of secondhand reading in which books are translated into a filming of books, it is both a narrative--it begins at the beginning and will eventually get to the end--and an acknowledgment of the necessity of repetition, inconsistency and the illogical.

    `*- -` NOVEMBER 2005 2005 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Our last meeting with presenter Patrick Nichol was a success and an inspiration.

  • Roberts & Tilton
    ROBERTS & TILTON 5801 Washington Boulevard FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Culver City, CA 90232 October 14, 2011 T 323-549-0223 F 323-549-0224 www.robertsandtilton.com [email protected] In Context October 29 - December 17, 2011 Opening Reception Saturday, October 29th, 6-8pm Radcliffe Bailey, Romare Bearden, Hannelore Baron, Louise Bourgeois, Hans Burkhardt, Joseph Cornell, Dale Brockman Davis, David Hammons, George Herms, Sola Irene, Ed Kienholz, Kyle Leeser, Maddy Leeser, Michael McMillian, Demetrius Oliver, John Outterbridge, Man Ray, Robert Rauschenberg, Alison Saar, Betye Saar, Lezley Saar, Kiki Smith, Gordon Wagner, Hank Willis Thomas. Roberts & Tilton is pleased to announce, In Context, a group exhibition celebrating Betye Saar’s solo installation, Red Time. Artists proceeding, following and contemporary to Saar contextualize and historicize varying facets of Saar’s fifty-year oeuvre. Each participating artist references a particular aspect of Saar’s practice: found object Assemblage, socially charged imagery, or works of metaphysical focus. Joseph Cornell’s Assemblage boxes were an early and prominent influence on Saar. Cornell’s 1967 retrospective at the Pasadena Art Museum coincided with the emergence of Saar’s transition from drawing and printmaking to the Assemblage work for which she is best known. Man Ray and Robert Rauschenberg, both having well-documented histories working in Los Angeles, share similarities to Saar; Ray: in obscure content, Rauschenberg: in comparable style. Ray and Rauschenberg, along with Ed Kienholz, were part of the foundational bridge between Los Angeles and the international art world. In this exhibition, Ed Kienholz is represented by The Minister, a stately Assemblage from 1961. Like Saar, Kienholz utilized found objects as the underpinnings for social commentary—often harsh, complicated and grim; like Kienholz, Saar creates these challenging works as a vehicle for societal change.

  • The Exhibition Features Works from a Circle of Friends Herms Found In
    The exhibition features works from a circle of friends Herms found in Florence, as well as artists introduced to him by the exhibition curator, Neville Wakefield, including Rita Ackermann, Kathryn Andrews, Lizzi Bougatsos, Robert Branaman, Dan Colen, Leo Fitzpatrick, Elliott Hundley, Hanna Liden, Nate Lowman, Ari Marcopoulos, Ryan McGinley, Melodie Mousset, Jack Pierson, Amanda Ross- Ho, Sterling Ruby, Agathe Snow, Ryan Trecartin, Kaari Upson, and Aaron Young. Ever since he first started exhibiting in Los Angeles in the late 1950s, George Herms has been a central figure in the development of so-called West Coast aesthetic. Influenced by a beat generation more attuned to the musical nuance of the everyday than the modernist requiem to order, Herms's commitment to counterculture is expressed through his use of impoverished materials and his rejection of compositional devices in favor of loose associations of materials and ideas. The resulting assemblages blur the boundaries between art and life to make of each the other. Herms salvages elements from the trash heap of popular culture, combining them with words and phrases to create final entities that are neither pure thought, nor pure object—they are both prop and proposition. At times, Herms has been associated with landmarks of the developing L.A. art scene—Wallace Berman and Semina, Walter Hopps and the Ferus Gallery, Dennis Hopper and the film culture of Easy Rider—but his art has refused any singular identification. An advocate of all things free—spirit, material, and love— Herms is the spiritual godfather to an art of the unknown, forging something out of nothing, which continues to be a driving compulsion of artists today.

  • The San Francisco Bay Area 1945 – 1965
    Subversive Art as Place, Identity and Bohemia: The San Francisco Bay Area 1945 – 1965 George Herms The Librarian, 1960. A text submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of The Glasgow School of Art For the degree of Master of Philosophy May 2015 © David Gracie 2015 i Abstract This thesis seeks evidence of time, place, and identity, as individualized artistic perspective impacting artists representing groups marginalized within dominant Western, specifically American culture, who lived in the San Francisco Bay Area between 1945–1965. Artists mirror the culture of the time in which they work. To examine this, I employ anthropological, sociological, ethnographic, and art historical pathways in my approach. Ethnic, racial, gender, class, sexual-orientation distinctions and inequities are examined via queer, and Marxist theory considerations, as well as a subjective/objective analysis of documented or existing artworks, philosophical, religious, and cultural theoretical concerns. I examine practice outputs by ethnic/immigrant, homosexual, and bohemian-positioned artists, exploring Saussurean interpretation of language or communicative roles in artwork and iconographic formation. I argue that varied and multiple Californian identities, as well as uniquely San Franciscan concerns, disseminated opposition to dominant United States cultural valuing and that these groups are often dismissed when produced by groups invisible within a dominant culture. I also argue that World War Two cultural upheaval induced Western societal reorganization enabling increased postmodern cultural inclusivity. Dominant societal repression resulted in ethnographic information being heavily coded by Bay Area artists when considering audiences.
