Download the Alan Moore essay (from the Box widget) and read for class on March 12.

The title of the essay is “Artists’ Collectives: Focus on New York, 1975-2000.” (The focus isn’t as New York-centric as it may appear.)

We’ll look at the artist-run centre network in Canada in more detail in class, as well as specific artist collectives and initiatives. The Moore reading gives a good survey of collectivism and alternative spaces in general.

Some Highlights:

1/ Gelitin “Blind Sculpture” at Greene Naftali

2/ Tino Sehgal “Of Progress” at Guggeheim

3/ Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida’s “#class” at Winkleman Gallery

4/ Keith Haring at Tony Shafrazi

5/ Iannis Xenakis at Drawing Centre (especially the audio)

6/ Erika Vogt, Kate Gilmore, Aki Sasamoto and Ari Marcopoulos at the Whitney Biennial

7/ Alex Hay‘s “Paperbag” (1968) at Whitney (Collecting Biennials)

8/ Nicholas Di Genova drawings at Fredericks & Freiser

9/ William Kentridge at MoMA

10/ George Maciunas’s “Diagram of Historical Development of Fluxus” at MoMA

11/ Lars Laumann installation at Foxy Productions

13/ Elisa Sighicelli videos at Gagosian Gallery
