  • Simone Forti Goes to the Zoo*
    Simone Forti with a lion cub at the Giardino Zoologico di Roma, 1968. Courtesy Simone Forti and The Box, LA. Simone Forti Goes to the Zoo* JULIA BRYAN-WILSON In the photograph, a young woman in a short skirt and sandals sits on a bench. With her crooked elbow, she braces her handbag to her body, tucking her large sketchpad into her armpit. She is petting a lion cub, and as she gazes down to witness the small but extraordinary fact of her hand on its fur, the ani- mal’s face turns towards the camera lens with closed eyes. This is dancer and choreographer Simone Forti on one of her many visits to the zoo during the brief time she lived in Rome in the late 1960s. Far from today’s “wildlife sanctu- aries” where animals can ostensibly wander freely, as the photo of this uncaged cub might suggest, the Giardino Zoologico di Roma offered a highly controlled environment in which animals lived within tight enclosures; Forti was here indulging in a staged, paid encounter, one that she characterized as “irre- sistible.”1 Irresistible because she was consistently moved by the creatures she drew and studied—moved as in stirred, or touched, as well as in shifted, or altered. As I argue, her dance practice changed dramatically as a result of the time she spent in Rome observing animal motions and interacting with other, animate forms of art. Petting a lion cub: irresistible, but still melancholy. Designed in part by German collector and merchant Carl Hagenbeck and built in 1911, the Roman zoo is an example of the turn-of-the-century “Hagenbeck revolution” in zoo architecture, which attempted to provide more naturalistic-appearing, open-air surroundings that were landscaped with artificial rocks and featured moats instead of bars, often creating tableaux of animals from different taxonomic * This article was made possible by the indefatigable Simone Forti, who talked with me, danced for me, and pulled all manner of documents and photographs out of her dresser drawers for me; thank you, Simone.

His place at the center of the New York avant-garde in the late MUSICAL CHAIRS 1960s and the postminimal conceptual art he produced then and has produced since are now receiving serious DAY TRIPS international attention. Locally, however, Kaltenbach remains something of a famous unknown. Like a statue in a traffic island, he is a Presence most people here have seen only in part. What RECENT COMMENTS Sacramentans know best are the salient works on public display: the artist’s mesmeric painting, Portrait of my Father, high point of the Anastasia Fonger on Crocker Art Museum’s contemporary collection, and his disquietingly Sacramento Brew in Review tranquil ruin, A Time to Cast Away Stones, at the Sacramento Hilda Tonarely on A Convention Center.

  • Volatility Liquidity and Malleability Replicating the Art of the 1960S
    Volatility, Liquidity and Malleability: Replicating the Art of the 1960s Bryony Rose Bery UCL Research Degree: History of Art I, Bryony Rose Bery, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 1 Abstract Reviewing Robert Morris’ 9 at Leo Castelli exhibition of December 1968, Max Kozloff used the terms volatility, liquidity and malleability. These physical characteristics suggest the precarious nature of the objects exhibited and are deployed throughout this thesis to explore the material, theoretical and ethical implications of sculpture replication in the twentieth century. A methodological approach that bridges art history and conservation-based perspectives will allow many of the current concerns surrounding replication to be expanded upon. The 1960s is seen as a key moment for the types of art objects being produced but also reproduced and a shift in practices and attitudes is traced. Issues of authenticity, materiality, authorship, historical narrative, conceptual intention and the various meanings ascribed to the term replica are considered. The purpose and status of the original or replica is scrutinised in the context of a history of replication. As a museum and artistic strategy, there are various motives for creating replicas. Here, a series of carefully selected historical case studies are used as test cases to draw attention to the acute problems posed when works are made from ephemeral or vulnerable materials, works that have to be performed, works that perform a process or behave naturally and works within a replicated exhibition enterprise.

  • Make an Object to Be Lost: Multiples and Minimalism
    15 “Make an Object to Be Lost” Multiples and Minimalism Liz Kotz How do we understand the historical project of “the multiple” in relation to Minimalism? How do these two models of artistic practice intersect, and what do they produce? At the outset, we should note that this intersection appears fraught. At the very least, it is under-populated—vastly outnumbered by the burgeoning Pop multiple, the profusion of Neo-Realism, and the myriad box- and kit-type multiples associated with Fluxus. Amidst the many upheavals of the s—artistic, social, technological—and amidst the widespread turn to the common object and everyday object experience as models for sculptural production, what we might call the “minimalist mul- tiple” never took hold with the same fervor. Why might this be so? Why was Minimalism resistant to the multiple? Untitled [275] is an enigmatic object. Donald Judd’s contribution to the Ten from Leo Castelli portfolio [274] was the artist’s first editioned sculpture, and one of only three multiples that he produced in this period (before mak- ing several multiple wall-works in the s and early s). Untitled occupies a provocatively peripheral place in Judd’s production. While it is included in the catalogue raisonée of Judd’s prints and works in editions, 1 to my knowl- edge, there is no significant critical discussion of it, or the other multiples, in the increasingly voluminous Judd litera- ture, nor have they been included in the recent Judd retro- spectives. Even in the catalogue, the “works in editions” appear in the back of the book with rather minimal notations, and they are not discussed in either of the catalogue essays.

  • CONSTANCE LEWALLEN with Phong Bui
    CONSTANCE LEWALLEN with Phong Bui State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970, curated by Constance Lewallen and Karen Moss and co-organized by the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) and the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA), was first presented at the OCMA in the fall of 2011 as part of the Getty Research Institute’s initiative Pacific Standard Time. It subsequently traveled to BAM/PFA and has been touring the United States under the auspices of the Independent Curators International. Right after the festive opening reception of the exhibit at the Bronx Museum of the Arts (June 20–September 8, 2013), Lewallen paid a visit to theRail’s headquarters to talk with publisher Phong Bui about the genesis of the exhibit, and more. http://www.brooklynrail.org/2013/07/art/constance-lewallen-with-phong-bui http://www.brooklynrail.org/2013/07/art/constance-lewallen-with-phong-bui Portrait of Constance Lewallen. Pencil on paper by Phong Bui. Phong Bui (Rail): This exhibit seems timely in that while showing a real breadth, and the consistency of various sorts of conceptual thinking, it’s in fact very useful in terms of ways in which an artist could reinvent their congenial mediums to express social, political, as well as artistic concerns. Constance Lewallen: Well, what might be refreshing to general viewers who see the show, especially young artists, is the focus on the late ’60s and early ’70s before art was about the market. There was a collective and pervasive sense of freedom, especially in California, partly because there really was no infrastructure, or much of any kind of critical response, which in some ways worked to the artists’ advantage.

Artists as well as critics have explored various notions of site-specificity, usually in concordance with successive art historical periods: the first ‘wave’ of site-specific installations created during the late 1960s and early 1970s, and a second period, from the 1980s and early 1990s until today.
