  • The Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Mountboard (Mat Board) and Other Boards Used in Framing
    The Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Mountboard (Mat Board) and other boards used in framing. Amended 10th June 2004 Copyright C Sumner, Fine Art Trade Guild Introduction These standards are directed to the composition, combinations, and characteristics of papers and paper-boards used in the framing of artwork, keepsakes and memorabilia. They help to give material categorisation of these to fit into the five levels of framing specified by the Fine Art Trade Guild. The objective of each level of framing is stated, with examples of the kinds of things for which that level is suitable. At present, all board that does not meet either the Cotton Museum Board standard or the Conservation Board standard will be deemed to be Standard Board and suitable for Commended, Budget and Minimum levels of framing only. The specifications for Standard Board may be further refined in due course as the quality of boards in this category vary greatly. Conservation Board is deemed to be acceptable for all levels except Museum level framing. Museum Board is deemed to be acceptable for all levels of framing. It is a prerequisite that the type of surface and texture must be specified relating to any board purporting to meet Guild Standards. If the surface is designed to accept decoration and embellishments, as in the case of Mountboard unless otherwise stipulated, it should be fit for the purpose. (FACTS Institute, USA, Test No. 6-97). International – Note that in some markets no distinction is made between Museum and Conservation Framing. In others, the terminology is reversed, i.e.

    KELLEY MINOR HISTORIES Statements, Conversations, Proposals MIKE KELLEY edited by John C. Welchman What John C. Welchman calls the “blazing network of focused conflations” from which Mike Kelley’s styles are generated is on display in all its diversity in this second volume of his writings. The first volume, Foul Perfection, contained thematic essays and writings about other artists; this collection concentrates on Kelley’s own work, ranging from texts in “voices” that grew out of scripts for performance pieces to expository critical and autobiographical writings. Minor Histories organizes Kelley’s writings into five sections. “Statements” consists of twenty pieces produced MINOR between 1984 and 2002 (most of which were written to accompany exhibitions), including “Ajax,” which draws on MIKE KELLEY Homeric epic, Colgate-Palmolive advertising, and Longinus to present its eponymous hero; “Some Aesthetic High Points,” an exercise in autobiography that counters the standard artist bio included in catalogs and press releases; and a sequence of “creative writings” that use mass cultural tropes in concert with high art mannerisms—approximating in prose the visu- MINOR HISTORIES al styles that characterize Kelley’s artwork. “Video Statements and Proposals” are introductions to videos made by Kelley and other artists, including Paul McCarthy and Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose. “Image-Texts” offers writings that accom- Statements, Conversations, Proposals pany or are part of artworks and installations. This section includes “A Stopgap Measure,” Kelley’s zestful millennial essay in social satire, and “Meet John Doe,” a collage of appropriated texts.

No portion of this publication may be reproduced without the permission of Legion Paper. OUR ROMANCE WITH PAPER Peace treaties are signed on it. Declarations of love are written on it. Artists’ works are portrayed on it. Of course, we mean paper; the medium that has evolved to reflect its own poetry, becoming an opportunity for pure innovation and unlimited creativity. Through the years, a melding of ancient craft and enlightened technology occurred, creating new practices and opening new horizons for expression in paper. When we trace its history, we find insight into man’s relentless imagination and creativity. Today, this convergence of ancient and modern continues and paper emerges with not only greater variety but a renewed appreciation of quality. To some, fine paper is the space that translates what is conceived in the mind to what is authentic. To others, having access to the right paper represents abundant possibility and profitability. The very selection of paper now becomes an adventure, realizing how the end result will vary based upon choice. Today, as in the years past, Legion Paper continues to source the finest papermakers around the globe, respecting the skill of the artisan and the unique attributes of the finished product. As we head into the future, Legion remains steadfast in its commitment to diversity, customer service and an unparalleled level of professionalism.

Geib is approved: Kenan BreazeJle Vida Hackman Tom Fricano, Chair California State University, Northridge ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My compulsion to complete this graduate exhibition has been with the encouragement, stimulation and provoking advice of Tom Fricano, Kenan Breazeale and Vida Hackman. My family, sons Kurt and Kent, and especially my husband, Lorne, have worked extensively as collaborators, partners, jack-of-all trades and unpaid laborers. Without their help and consideration at a time when my attention was entirely single minded in purpose, I would indeed have felt the loss.
