The contents of the collection veer from high to low, from the obscure to the mass produced, reflecting not only the history of both galleries and their relationships to print and publishing, but also the shared and personal interests of Pat Hearn and Colin de Land. A selection of collection material directly relates to exhibitions held at American Fine Arts and Pat Hearn Gallery, including gallery publications as well as catalogues and monographs of affiliated artists. The collection also functions as a record of Hearn and de Land's extensive orbit, and includes publications submitted by artists soliciting the - Page 3 - Guide to the Colin de Land and Pat Hearn Library Collection MSS.012 galleries as well as complimentary copies of catalogues from peer institutions. De Land's strong involvement in the Cologne art scene of the 1990s is well reflected in the collection, which features many unique German artist's books and periodicals. Magazines and periodicals factor heavily into the collection, which includes complete or nearly complete runs of a variety of culture and art related publications, including Texte Zur Kunst, Purple and Zing. The collection is also a repository for small-run artist's periodicals and multiples distributed through underground and unconventional channels; these include PIG magazine, Made in USA, and The Netletter.

Pat Hearn Gallery opened in 1983 at its first location at 94 Avenue B in the East Village of Manhattan. In 1985, the gallery expanded to another East Village location, at 735 East Ninth Street. In 1988 Hearn moved the gallery again to Soho, at 39 Wooster Street. In 1995, the gallery relocated to the its final location at 530 West 22nd Street in Chelsea, where it remained until its closing in 2002. Over its nineteen years of existence, Pat Hearn Gallery's program featured a diverse selection of artists working in a variety of mediums, including painting, performance, photography, conceptual art, and video. Pat Hearn Gallery artists included Philip Taaffe, Milan Kunc, Peter Schuyff, Jimmy de Sana, Jutta Koether, Monique Prieto, Julia Scher, Susan Hiller, Renee Green, Simon Leung, George Condo, Jack Pierson and Mark Morrisroe, Joan Jonas, and Lutz Bacher, and others. Colin de Land's gallery, American Fine Arts Co. was founded in 1982 as a storefront space on Clinton and Stanton streets in the East Village, operating under the name American Fine Art, which soon changed to Vox Populi. In 1986, Vox Populi moved to 511 East Sixth Street and changed names to American Fine Arts, Co., Colin de Land Fine Art (A.F.A). In 1988, A.F.A relocated to 40 Wooster Street in Soho. In 1993, the gallery moved down the street to a larger location at 22 Wooster Street. In 2000, following Pat Hearn's death, Colin de Land took over activities at Hearn's gallery at 530 West 22nd Street as American Fine Arts, Co.—Colin de Land Fine Art at PHAG, Inc. For a period of around two years de Land dually operated this location and his gallery at 20 Wooster Street. In 2002, de Land ceased activities at the Wooster Street location and operated solely out of Chelsea. After de Land's death in 2003, exhibitions organized by de Land's contemporaries continued at this location until November 2004. A.F.A. was notable in its subversion of the conventional commercial gallery model. Recurring artists in the A.F.A. program included Cady Noland, Mark Dion, Peter Fend, Andrea Fraser, John Waters, Jessica Stockholder, Christian Philipp Müller, Tom Burr, John Knight, and Silvia Kolbowski, among others. Pat Hearn and Colin de Land were both born in 1955. The pair began a relationship in the mid-1980s, and married in 1999. In 1994, Hearn and de Land helped to establish the Gramercy International Art Fair, which was renamed in 1999 as The Armory Show. Hearn passed away in 2000 after a battle with liver cancer. Colin de Land also lost his life to cancer in 2003. After A.F.A.'s closing in 2004, the books and printed material in the The Colin de Land and Pat Hearn Library Collection were managed by Daniel McDonald and Christine Tsvetanov, former A.F.A. directors and managers of the estate. In 2006, the collection was purchased by Alexander Schröder, the Berlin-based art collector and co-founder of Galerie Neu. The collection was further organized at this point for exhibition at several European locations. In 2008, a portion of the collection was exhibited at Mehringdamm 72 Galerie in Berlin during the exhibition "Colin de Land: American Fine Arts." Also in 2008, parts of the collection were shown in the exhibition "Some Neighbors" at Kunstverein München. Items from the Library were displayed in the exhibition "Berlin–Paris" at the private apartment of Daniele Balice and Alexander Hertling in Paris in 2010. In 2011, the collection played a prominent role in the staging of "Dealing with—Some Books, Visuals and Works Related to American Fine Arts, Co." at Halle Für Kunst and Kunstraum at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany. In 2014, the Library was exhibited at Artists Space Books and Talks in New York, NY, as part of the exhibition "The Library Vaccine." In 2014, the Library and Archives at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College acquired the collection from Alexander Schröder. To reflect the significant input and involvement of Pat Hearn and Pat Hearn Gallery in the development of the Library, the name of the collection was changed from "The Colin de Land Library" to "The Colin de Land and Pat Hearn Library Collection." - Page 5 - Guide to the Colin de Land and Pat Hearn Library Collection MSS.012 Scope and Contents The collection consists of the libraries built by American Fine Arts and Pat Hearn Gallery as well as the personal libraries of Colin de Land and Pat Hearn.

  • Home-Stewart Plagiarism.-Art-As-Commodity-And-Strategies-For-Its-Negation.Pdf
    British Library Cataloguing in Publication Data Plagiarism: art as commodity and strategies for its negation 1. Imitation in art — History — 20th century 2. Art — Reproduction — History — 20th century I. Home, Stewart 702.8'7 N7428 ISBN 0-948518-87-1 Second impression Aporia Press, 1987. No copyright: please copy & distribute freely. INTRODUCTION THIS is a pamphlet intended to accompany the debate that surrounds "The Festival Of Plagiarism", but it may also be read and used separately from any specific event. It should not be viewed as a cat­ alogue for the festival, as it contains opinions that bear no relation to those of a number of people participating in the event. Presented here are a number of divergent views on the subjects of plagiarism, art and culture. One of the problems inherent in left opposition to dominant culture is that there is no agreement on the use of specific terms. Thus while some of the 'essays' contained here are antagonistic towards the concept of art — defined in terms of the culture of the ruling elite — others use the term in a less specific sense and are consequently less critical of it. Since the term 'art' is popularly associated with cults of 'genius' it would seem expedient to stick to the term 'culture' — in a non-elitist sense — when describing our own endeavours. Although culture as a category appears to be a 'universal' experience, none of its individual expressions meet such a criteria. This is the basis of our principle objection to art — it claims to be 'universal' when it is very clearly class based.

  • Baltic Triennial 13 – Give up the Ghost
    BALTIC TRIENNIAL 13 – GIVE UP THE GHOST Contemporary Art Centre (CAC), Vilnius 11 May – 12 August, 2018 Private view 11 May, 6pm Artistic Director: Vincent Honoré BT13 – GIVE UP THE GHOST launches its fi rst chapter at Contemporary Art Centre (CAC), Vilnius on Friday, 11 May with an evening of performances followed by a public programme on Saturday, 12 May. BT13 in Vilnius includes works by Caroline Achaintre, Evgeny Antufi ev, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Darja Bajagić, Olga Balema, Nina Beier, Huma Bhabha, Dora Budor, Miriam Cahn, Jayne Cortez, Melvin Edwards, Daiga Grantina, Max Hooper Schneider, Anna Hulačová, Pierre Huyghe, E’wao Kagoshima, Sanya Kantarovsky, Ella Kruglyanskaya, Benoît Maire, Katja Novitskova, Pakui Hardware, Anu Põder, Laure Prouvost, Ieva Rojūtė, Rachel Rose, Augustas Serapinas and Michael E. Smith alongside a public programme of performances by Liv Wynter, Adam Christensen, Anton Lukoszevieze, Ieva Rojūtė and Žygimantas Kudirka celebrating the Triennial. The Baltic Triennial has historically taken place at the CAC Vilnius only. For its 13th edition, it will - for the fi rst time - be organised by and take place in Lithuania, Estonia (opening on June 29th) and Latvia (opening on September 21st), taking the form of three distinct chapters. Baltic Triennial 13 is informed by a shared concern: what does it mean to belong at a time of fractured iden- tities? BT13 – GIVE UP THE GHOST unfolds through and with this very question, careful not to off er a single or illustrative response. Instead, it opts for a collective vision of what is at stake: independence and depen- dency—and everything that lies in between—to territories, cultures, classes, histories, bodies and forms.

    Installation view of The Estate of General Idea: Ziggurat, 2017, Courtesy of Mitchell-Innes and Nash. © General Idea. The Estate of General Idea (1969-1994) had their first exhibition with the Mitchell-Innes & Nash Gallery on view in Chelsea through January 13, featuring several “ziggurat” paintings from the late 1960s, alongside works on paper, photographs and ephemera that highlight the central importance of the ziggurat form in the rich practice of General Idea. It got me thinking about the unique Canadian trio’s sumptuous praxis and how it evolved from humble roots in the underground of the early 1970s to its sophisticated position atop the contemporary art world of today. One could say that the ziggurat form is a perfect metaphor for a staircase of their own making that they ascended with grace and elegance, which is true. But they also had to aggressively lacerate and burn their way to the top, armed with real fire, an acerbic wit and a penchant for knowing where to apply pressure. Even the tragic loss of two thirds of their members along the way did not deter their rise, making the unlikely climb all the more heroic.

At the outset, Fonda’s early stardom is situated in relation to contemporaneous moral and political ideologies in the United States and how she functioned as both an agent and symbol of these ideologies. Her anti-war activism in the early-1970s constituted the apex of Fonda’s radicalisation and the nadir of her popular appeal; a central question of this thesis, therefore, is how her stardom was rehabilitated for the American mainstream to the point of becoming Hollywood’s most bankable actress. As the star and producer of IPC Films, Fonda developed political projects using commercial formats, namely Coming Home (1978), The China Syndrome (1979), Nine to Five (1980), and Rollover (1981).

  • The Defining and Shaping of the Contemporary Art Curator
    THE DEFINING AND SHAPING OF THE CONTEMPORARY ART CURATOR THE DEFINING AND SHAPING OF THE CONTEMPORARY ART CURATOR Susan Ostling DipArt Lond BA Syd MA (Visual Arts) QUT Queensland College of Art, Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2013 2 Abstract Curators have come to figure quite prominently in the cultural landscape of late, such that the concept of a curator is now applied in a wide variety of contexts from art to shopping. It is said curators are now far more linked to the internet and social networks, than to the interiors of museums; and most accounts see the contemporary art curator as caught in the flux of global cultural economies. Why should this be? It is in this volatile terrain I have situated my research on the contemporary art curator. I ask how has the role of the curator been shaped, defined and constrained by competing discourses? Were there other influences, I ask beyond the global market place that may have contributed to the defining and shaping of the contemporary curator? I undertake this study in two ways. Firstly, I conduct an historical overview to explore whether there were precedents of curatorial practice that might lead to a greater understanding of the contemporary curator. Here, following Foucault, I consider the transformations in dominant discourses that have effected the assembling and interpretation of collections of significant objects. Secondly, using interviews conducted with three ‘independent’ curators—Seth Siegelaub, Juliana Engberg and Charles Esche—I undertake discourse analyses, identifying a number of fields of discourse, which I argue have impacted and shaped their curatorial practices.
