  • Catalogue Babble Mel Bochner
    BABBEL BY MEL BOCHNER SYBARIS COLLECTION Mel Bochner (Pittsburgh, 1940) Mel Bochner is one of the most important living American conceptual artists of today. Related to Joseph Kosuth and Bruce Nauman, his work has been exhibited in prestigious museums such as the Tate Modern in London or the MoMA in New York. Bochner’s pieces fuse interests in design, written language, and art to push the boundaries of conceptual art. His interests are geometry, color, and length; his art is transgressive and experimental. In his own words: “My feeling was that there were ways of extending, or reinventing visual experience, but that it was very important that it remain visual […] The viewer should enter the idea through a visual or phenomenological experience rather than simply reading it.” New York artist Mel Bochner stands in front of his painting 'Master of the Universe (2010)' at the Whitechapel Gallery PA/independent.co.uk Crazy, 2019 Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs on hand-painted Twinrocker paper 127 x 165 cm Silence, 2019 Babble, 2019 Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs on hand-painted Twinrocker paper on hand-painted Twinrocker paper 81 x 52 cm 160 x 120 cm Bozo, 2019 Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs on hand-painted Twinrocker paper 109 x 119 cm Chuckle, 2016 Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs on hand-painted Twinrocker paper 45 x 76 cm n/a Top Dog, 2019 Eradicate, 2019 Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs on hand-painted Twinrocker paper on hand-painted Twinrocker paper 160 x 90 cm 81 x 52 cm Blah, Blah, Blah, 2019 Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs on hand-painted Twinrocker paper 125 x 183 cm HA, HA, HA, 2019 Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs on hand-painted Twinrocker paper 51 x 57 cm Fool, 2019 Monotype with collage, engraving and reliefs on hand-painted Twinrocker paper 127 x 167 cm SYBARISCOLLECTION.COM [email protected] +1 (832) 530 3996 +55 (55) 8435 4487 Ig Fb SybarisCollection.

    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.
