  • Studio International Magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’S Editorial Papers 1965-1975
    Studio International magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’s editorial papers 1965-1975 Joanna Melvin 49015858 2013 Declaration of authorship I, Joanna Melvin certify that the worK presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this is indicated in the thesis. i Tales from Studio International Magazine: Peter Townsend’s editorial papers, 1965-1975 When Peter Townsend was appointed editor of Studio International in November 1965 it was the longest running British art magazine, founded 1893 as The Studio by Charles Holme with editor Gleeson White. Townsend’s predecessor, GS Whittet adopted the additional International in 1964, devised to stimulate advertising. The change facilitated Townsend’s reinvention of the radical policies of its founder as a magazine for artists with an international outlooK. His decision to appoint an International Advisory Committee as well as a London based Advisory Board show this commitment. Townsend’s editorial in January 1966 declares the magazine’s aim, ‘not to ape’ its ancestor, but ‘rediscover its liveliness.’ He emphasised magazine’s geographical position, poised between Europe and the US, susceptible to the influences of both and wholly committed to neither, it would be alert to what the artists themselves wanted. Townsend’s policy pioneered the magazine’s presentation of new experimental practices and art-for-the-page as well as the magazine as an alternative exhibition site and specially designed artist’s covers. The thesis gives centre stage to a British perspective on international and transatlantic dialogues from 1965-1975, presenting case studies to show the importance of the magazine’s influence achieved through Townsend’s policy of devolving responsibility to artists and Key assistant editors, Charles Harrison, John McEwen, and contributing editor Barbara Reise.

  • 'Seth Price's Operations' by Michael Newman, From
    “Here is an operation . ” Seth Price, Was ist los? The walls of several of Seth Price’s exhibitions since 2007 have featured kite- shaped panels in what appears to be a yellow metal—“gold keys,” as the artist likes to call them—with an embossed area in black, white, or various colors, somewhat resembling a leaping figure, which in each picks out the negative shape of a hand dropping keys into another hand. These may be placed high, and are sometimes grouped to form horizontal or vertical friezes.1 The image of passing keys is an everyday gesture raised to the power of a logo, representing an interaction, which may be an exchange, the outcome of a sale or a mort- gage, the loan of a car or an apartment—intimating security, freedom, a place of one’s own. A key also has the metaphorical significance of something that unlocks and opens, lays bare, suggesting the process of interpretation that is applied to the work of art, or a body of work. But is there any meaning, any- thing hidden that needs unlocking? In much contemporary art and culture, the intensive concept of a “deep” meaning has been replaced by the extensive con- cept of networks, nodes that link to other nodes in all directions. The images in the “diamonds” come from tiny GIFs downloaded from the Internet, so the origin is a digital file obtained through a link. In the way that he explores different articulations across various mediums between source, object, and redistribution, Price has developed in an exem- plary manner the experience of an artist born in 1973, and based in New York.

  • Conceptual Art in Britain 1964–1979 the New Art Large Print Guide
    Conceptual Art in Britain 1964–1979 12 April – 29 August 2016 The New Art Large Print Guide Please return to exhibition entrance The New Art 1 From 1969 several exhibitions in London and abroad presented conceptual art to wider public view. When Attitudes Become Form at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in 1969 or Seven Exhibitions at the Tate Gallery in 1972, for example, generated an institutional acceptance and confirmation for conceptual art. It was presented in such exhibitions in different contexts to encompass both an analytical or theoretical conceptual art largely based in language and philosophy, and one that was more inclusive and suggested an expansion of definitions of sculpture. This inclusive view of conceptual art underlines how it was understood as a set of strategies for formulating new approaches to art. One such approach was the increasing use of photography – first as a means of documentation and then recast and conceived as the work itself. Photography also provided a way for sculpture to free itself from objects and re-engage with reality. However, by the mid-1970s some artists were questioning not just the nature of art, but were using conceptual strategies to address what art’s function might be in terms of a social or political purpose. 2 1st Room Wall labels Clockwise from right of wall text John Hilliard born 1945 Camera Recording its Own Condition (7 Apertures, 10 Speeds, 2 Mirrors) 1971 70 photographs, gelatin silver print on paper on card on Perspex Here, Hilliard’s Praktica camera is both subject and object of the work.

These films and programs are compelling to us today for their experimentation with the televisual format, technique and style, their choice of subject matter and in the way debate and conflict played out. Indeed, many are outrightly prescient. This is all the more surprising for a contemporary viewer, in that they were all produced by a public television network and not independently, something that would be unthinkable today. Although Cornelis studied at the Film Academy in Amsterdam it was his experience living away from Antwerp, his hometown, and his interest in French cinema at the time that impelled him to pursue film work. He was 22 when he 1.

  • James Lee Byars 1/2 an Autobiography
    Michael Werner 4 East 77 New York New York 10075 Melinda Santillan 30 November 2013 JAMES LEE BYARS 1/2 AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY Artist James Lee Byars (1932‐1997) seemed to live life both as a performance and an ongoing philosophical investigation. Living in the United States, Japan and Europe throughout his life, he studied philosophies and techniques wherever he went and participated in minimalist, conceptual and performance art practices. Writing was an important part of his life and he corresponded with people in the art world daily, his letters themselves becoming a work of art. His flamboyant expressions such as his habit of wearing a gold lame suit and his handwriting; large letters peppered with stars, contrasted with the austere minimalist work he produced. Through a mix of ritualistic performances and exercises in formality he brought things down to their essence, using only a few colors such as black, white, red and of course gold. As one of their opening exhibitions Museo Jumex presented “James Lee Byars: 1⁄2 an autobiography” a retrospective of Byars work co‐curated by Magalí Arriola of Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo and Peter Eleey of MoMA PS1. From the Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo press kit : “James Lee Byars: 1⁄2 an Autobiography” is the most comprehensive museum survey of the work of James Lee Byars organized in North america since his death. The exhibition focuses on revealing the ephemeral and intangible nature of much of his art, while also highlighting the inherently incomplete summary that an exhibition offers of an artist’s life and work.

  • Art Criticism: the Mediation of Art in Britain 1968–76
    Art Criticism: The Mediation of Art in Britain 1968–76 J.J. Charlesworth A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Royal College of Art for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2016 Copyright Statement This text represents the submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Royal College of Art. This copy has been supplied for the purpose of research for private study, on the understanding that it is copyright material, and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. 2 Abstract This thesis studies the changes in the nature of critical writing on contemporary art, in the context of the British art world across a period from 1968 to around 1976. It examines the major shifts in the relationship between the artistic production of the period and the forms of writing that addressed it, through those publications that sought to articulate a public discourse on art in a period where divergent accounts regarding the criteria of artistic value, and the terms of critical discourse, came increasingly into conflict. This thesis takes as its main subject a number of publication venues for art-critical writing of the time, and their responses to the rapidly changing scene of artistic production. It examines the forms of writing that attended emerging artistic practice and the theoretical and critical assumptions on which that writing depended, highlighting those moments where critical discourse was provoked to reflect self-consciously of the relation between discourse and artistic practice. By tracing the repercussions of the cultural and political revolts of the late 1960s, it examines how the orthodoxies of art criticism came to be challenged, in the first instance, by the growing influence of radical artistic practices which incorporated a discursive function, and by leftist social critiques of art.
