Art and Language 14Th November – 18Th January 2003 52 - 54 Bell Street
Art and Language 14th November – 18th January 2003 52 - 54 Bell Street Lisson Gallery is delighted to announce an exhibition by Art & Language. Art and Language played a key role in the birth of Conceptual Art both theoretically and in terms of the work produced. The name Art & Language was first used by Michael Baldwin, David Bainbridge, Harold Hurrell and Terry Atkinson in 1968 to describe their collaborative work which had been taking place since 1966-67 and as the title of the journal dedicated to the theoretical and critical issues of conceptual art. The collaboration widened between 1969 and 1970 to include Ian Burn, Mel Ramsden, Joseph Kosuth and Charles Harrison. The collaborative nature of the venture was conceived by the artists as offering a critical inquiry into the social, philosophical and psychological position of the artist which they regarded as mystification. By the mid-1970s a large body of critical and theoretical as well as artistic works had developed in the form of publications, indexes, records, texts, performances and paintings. Since 1977, Art and Language has been identified with the collaborative work of Michael Baldwin and Mel Ramsden and with the theoretical and critical collaboration of these two with Charles Harrison. The process of indexing lies at the heart of the endeavours of Art and Language. One such project that will be included in the exhibition is Wrongs Healed in Official Hope, a remaking of an earlier index, Index 01, produced by Art & Language for the Documenta of 1972. Whereas Index 01 was intended as a functioning tool in the recovery and public understanding of Art and Language, Wrongs Healed in Official Hope is a ‘logical implosion’ of these early indexes as conversations questioning the process of indexing became the material of the indexing project itself. -
Conceptual Art in Britain 1964–1979 Art & Language Large Print Guide
Conceptual Art in Britain 1964–1979 12 April – 29 August 2016 Art & Language Large Print Guide Please return to exhibition entrance Art & Language 1 To focus on reading rather than looking marked a huge shift for art. Language was to be used as art to question art. It would provide a scientific and critical device to address what was wrong with modernist abstract painting, and this approach became the basis for the activity of the Art & Language group, active from about 1967. They investigated how and under what conditions the naming of art takes place, and suggested that meaning in art might lie not with the material object itself, but with the theoretical argument underpinning it. By 1969 the group that constituted Art & Language started to grow. They published a magazine Art-Language and their practice became increasingly rooted in group discussions like those that took place on their art theory course at Coventry College of Art. Theorising here was not subsidiary to art or an art object but the primary activity for these artists. 2 Wall labels Clockwise from right of wall text Art & Language (Mel Ramsden born 1944) Secret Painting 1967–8 Two parts, acrylic paint on canvas and framed Photostat text Mel Ramsden first made contact with Art & Language in 1969. He and Ian Burn were then published in the second and third issues of Art-Language. The practice he had evolved, primarily with Ian Burn, in London and then after 1967 in New York was similar to the critical position regarding modernism that Terry Atkinson and Michael Baldwin were exploring. -

Systems, Contexts, Relations: An Alternative Genealogy of Conceptual Art A thesis submitted to Middlesex University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Luke Skrebowski Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy/History of Art and Design Middlesex University September 2009 Acknowledgments I would like to thank the following people: Professor Peter Osborne; Professor Jon Bird; the staff and students of the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Middlesex University; Hans Haacke; Mel Bochner; Chris and Jane Skrebowski; Suzi Winstanley. The research and writing of this thesis were supported by an AHRC Doctoral Award and a Gabriel Parker Travel Bursary from Middlesex University. i Abstract Recent scholarship has revisited conceptual art in light of its ongoing influence on contemporary art, arguing against earlier accounts of the practice which gave a restricted account of its scope and stressed its historical foreclosure. Yet conceptual art remains both historically and theoretically underspecified, its multiple and often conflicting genealogies have not all been convincingly traced. This thesis argues for the importance of a systems genealogy of conceptual art—culminating in a distinctive mode of systematic conceptual art—as a primary determinant of the conceptual genealogy of contemporary art. It claims that from the perspective of post-postmodern, relational and context art, the contemporary significance of conceptual art can best be understood in light of its “systematic” mode. The distinctiveness of contemporary art, and the problems associated with its uncertain critical character, have to be understood in relation to the unresolved problems raised by conceptual art and the implications that these have held for art’s post-conceptual trajectory. -

Document generated on 09/27/2021 2:34 a.m. Studies in Canadian Literature / Études en littérature canadienne Poetry beyond Illocution Frank Davey Volume 41, Number 1, 2016 Article abstract Visual and conceptual poetry became significant practices in Canada in the late URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/scl41_1art08 1950s and 1960s as part of a dissatisfaction with what Antony Easthope in 1986 would call a moribund “bourgeois poetic discourse,” “the poetry of the ‘single See table of contents voice.’” The latter, however, would continue to survive in school anthologies and arts council policies as a protected form, while the new non-discursive poetries found most of their audiences in art galleries, libraries, music clubs, Publisher(s) on the internet, and as often through international presentation as Canadian. The result has been a rich accumulation of visual and conceptual poetry, with The University of New Brunswick its own major figures, that is little understood or studied nationally and often better known and appreciated outside of Canada than within.
