"After several years of art derived in face and in spirit from the media explosion and the technological revolution, many artists now seem to be literally turning to the elements -- air, earth, water, and fire -- as their source of inspiration. One day soon it may become a social necessity to exchange our traditionally sacred object art for a more conceptual, less spatial art-as-environment. In preparation for that day artists like those represented in Art Art exhibition are fully exploiting our current technology in order create new art forms benefitting that future..." -- from Peter Selz's introduction.

7. * James Monte, Marcia Tucker Anti-Illusion : Procedures / Materials, 1969 Offset-printed exhibition catalogue Published by Whitney Museum of American Art, New York Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held May 19 - July 6, 1969. Texts by curators James Monte and Marcia Tucker. "The radical nature of many works in this exhibition depends less on the fact that new materials are being used by the artists than the fact that the acts of conceiving and placing the pieces take precedence over the object qualities of the works..." -- from James Monte's catalogue essay. "Our approach to works of art has been based on the assumptions about the nature of art. One of these assumptions has been that art creates order from chaos of experience; it is presumed that our understanding of a work of art is equivalent to our grasp of the formal or conceptual order inherent in it. The present exhibition challenges this supposition. We are offered an art that presents itself as disordered, chaotic, or anarchic..." -- from Marcia Tucker's catalogue essay.

9. K.G.P. [Pontus] Hultén, Ronald Hunt Poesin måste göras av alla! / Poetry must be made by all! / Förändra världen! / Transform the world!, 1969 Offset-printed exhibition catalogue Published by Moderna Museet, Stockholm Exhibition catalogue for show held November 15 - December 21, 1969. Exhibition conceived by Ronald Hunt. "The cultural history of this century will be reassessed to a large extent. While we persistently look in our usual way the decisive events happen the other way or on another level. Art history has traditionally regarded sculpture and painting as the main means of expression of visual art. (the representatives of the art market have eagerly supported this point.) But for some time it has become clear that a significant 'dematerialization' of art is taking place. A work of art can be born and disappear within a few weeks or destroy itself in a few hours..." -- from Pontus Hultén's preface. "The title of this exhibition is taken from Lautréamont and Marx respectively; it indicates the basic themes and links radical art and revolutionary politics. With this union the traditional notion of art often seems to disappear, and the concept of politics take on an added dimension." -- from Hunt's introduction. Exhibition melded works ranging from Malangai-mask fro Iatmual people, New Guinea; Malevich, Tatlin, Dali, Marcel Jean, E.L.T. Mesens, Meret Oppenheim, Wolfgang Paalen, Luis Bunel, Dziga Vertov, Rodchenko, and others. Extensive texts in English and Swedish. $75

13. Screw : The Sex Review, No. 1 (November 29, 1968) – No. 25 (August 25, 1969) Twenty-five issues, offset on newsprint Includes contributions by Gregory Battcock, Dan Graham, Yayoi Kusama, John Lennon, , Andy Warhol, and others. Issue No. 15 signed by Dan Graham and incorporating Graham’s original work Detumescence: I had in mind a page, describing in clinical language the typical emotional and physiological aspects of post-climax in the sexual experience of the human male. It was noted that no description exists anywhere in the literature, as it is "anti-romantic." It may be culturally suppressed - a structural "hole" in the psycho-sexual-social conditioning of behavior. I wanted the "piece" to be, simply, this psycho-sexual-social "hole" - truncated on the page alone as printed matter. To create it, I advertised in several places. In late 1966, I advertised for a qualified medical writer in the National Tatler (a sex tabloid). In early 1969, the New York Review of Sex gave me an ad. As both of these ads were somewhat edited, I bought an ad in Screw in mid-1969. I have received no responses.

"Shortly after its opening, the Museum of Contemporary Art planned an exhibition to record the trend, incipient then and pervasive today, toward conceptualization of art. This exhibition, scheduled for the spring of 1968 and abandoned because of technical difficulties, consisted of works in different media, conceived by artists in this country and Europe and executed in Chicago on their behalf. The telephone was designated the most fitting means of communication in relaying instructions to those entrusted with fabrication of the artists' projects or enactment of their ideas. To heighten the challenge of a wholly verbal exchange, drawings, blueprints or written descriptions were avoided." - Jan van der Marck from record jacket.
