    THE JEAN-NOËL HERLIN ARCHIVE PROJECT Jean-Noël Herlin New York City 2005 Table of Contents Introduction i Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups 1 Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups. Selections A-D 77 Group events and clippings by title 109 Group events without title / Organizations 129 Periodicals 149 Introduction In the context of my activity as an antiquarian bookseller I began in 1973 to acquire exhibition invitations/announcements and poster/mailers on painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance, and video. I was motivated by the quasi-neglect in which these ephemeral primary sources in art history were held by American commercial channels, and the project to create a database towards the bibliographic recording of largely ignored material. Documentary value and thinness were my only criteria of inclusion. Sources of material were random. Material was acquired as funds could be diverted from my bookshop. With the rapid increase in number and diversity of sources, my initial concept evolved from a documentary to a study archive project on international visual and performing arts, reflecting the appearance of new media and art making/producing practices, globalization, the blurring of lines between high and low, and the challenges to originality and quality as authoritative criteria of classification and appreciation. In addition to painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance and video, the Jean-Noël Herlin Archive Project includes material on architecture, design, caricature, comics, animation, mail art, music, dance, theater, photography, film, textiles and the arts of fire. It also contains material on galleries, collectors, museums, foundations, alternative spaces, and clubs.

Boris tenía el mayor respeto hacia las obras y las ideas de Wolf, desde su primer encuentro en Nueva York en los años sesenta, cuando empezaron a exponer juntos en algunas de las exposiciones vanguardistas más importantes del mundo del arte de entonces. Siguieron unidos en el espíritu y en su excelente arte hasta la muerte de Wolf en 1998. Esta exposición honra su vínculo. Quisiera darle las gracias a Mercedes Guardado Olivenza Vostell, el Consorcio Museo Vostell Malpartida, y a todos los que han hecho esta exposición histórica posible. It is with great pride that Boris Lurie is being exhibited in Spain, in the Museo Vostell Malpartida, a museum that Boris deeply admired, as he deeply admired Wolf Vostell, his long time friend. Boris had only the greatest respect for Wolf ’s works and ideas, from their first meeting in New York in the early sixties, when they began to exhibit together in some of the most important avant-garde shows of the art world of its day. They remained united in spirit, and in their remarkable art, until Wolf ’s passing in 1998. This show honors their bond.

  • Jon Hendricks
    Jon Hendricks came to Judson as a conscientious objector from Vermont in 1965. The Vietnam War was heating up, so I applied for CO sta- tus with my local board. I thought I would like to work in a mu- seum, but they had only jobs for guards. The Museum of Modern Art was not very sympathetic to conscientious objectors. They asked me what I would do if there was a rowdy crowd. They asked: "Are you such a pacifist that you would leave them alone?" My brother Geoffrey knew about Judson Church because he had r~ worked with Al Carmines teaching students who came to New York from midwestern colleges such as Earlham, so I applied to be placed there because Judson was an approved site. Judson had had one ear- lier co. Little did the draft board know that the government was letting me enter a subversive role of resistance. Judson had no money to pay me but they agreed to give me room and board. I had a room on the second floor with the students. Beverly Waite also lived there. Downstairs, below Beverly's room, was Al Carmines's apartment, and to the left at the end of the hall was Ro Lee's. She was the church secretary at the time. Below Ro's apartment was Ed Brewer's. He was the church organist. There was a cook who pro- vided meals, so I had food and a place to live. But I had no spending money. I would do odd painting jobs, and at Christmas the church gave me $50.
