    Albert Irvin, Beacon II, 1994 Acrylic on canvas 186 x 160cm [detail] Albert Irvin Albert Irvin OBE RA was born in 1922 in London, where he continued to live and work throughout his life. In the early 1940’s Irvin attended Northampton School of Art. His studies were interrupted when he was called up, serving as a navigator in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. After the war ended he enrolled at Goldsmiths College in London to resume his studies. In 1962, he returned to Goldsmiths where he taught for twenty years. He also taught as visiting lecturer at art colleges throughout Britain. Irvin’s first solo exhibition was in 1960 at 57 Gallery, Edinburgh followed by New Art Centre in London in 1963 and 1965. He went on to exhibit extensively throughout Europe, the USA and Australia. A major retrospective of his work from 1960 to 1989 was held at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 1990. Irvin was awarded a Travel Award to America by the Arts Council in 1968 and later received an Arts Council Major Award In 1970 he moved into his Studio in Stepney Green and continued travelling to work there from his home at least 3 times a week into his 90s. He formed a working relationship with Advanced Graphics London in 1979, and began producing screenprints with them - the start of a very successful venture. 2 Irvin joined Gimpel Fils in 1982 they had regular, solo exhibitions of his work throughout his life. His works are held in many public collections including Tate, Royal Academy and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The British Council; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Manchester City Art Gallery; Leeds Art Gallery and The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney.

    undergraduate. The selection or the material Andy Warhol means that students can compare different White Car Crash viewpoints on roughly the same area easily - 1963 three of the four chapters in Part I deal with classical Indian art and architecture. The downside is a certain one-sidedness to a book that ostensibly deals 11ith cultural difference in all its manifestations in the world of visual culture. However, this .can be defended as the comparison between James Fergusson, Ananda Coomaraswamy and Partha ~litt er is an excellent way of introducing students to precisely the conclu sio ns Thomas heads toward s. There's also a neat juxtaposition between Jantjes' welcoming of difference and hybridity in contemporary visual culture, and Araeen's closing scepticism. I Niru Ratnam is a writer and art historian.

This is a diverse collection of 18 texts that evolved from conferences on performance and performativity organised in 1997 by edi­ tors Amelia Jones and Andrew Stephenson. To the editors, this variety of essays is justi­ fied as a way of disrupting traditional models down again. This is too intricate an issue to though when Jones and Stevenson extend it of art history. Their goal is nothing less than settle \vith off the shelf teleologies like Kant to any cultural commentary, such as art to bring about a revolution in the commen­ to Modernism.
