LIBRARY

When attitudes become form [exhibition catalogue]

London: Institute of Contemporary Arts, 1969

This is not the only published version of this catalogue. The original catalogue was 'modified and supplemented' as art works were added or subtracted for the London showing of the exhibition, which originated at the Kunsthalle Berne. It presented a range of 'new' art work. By 'new' it loosely meant innovative and progressive. Preoccupations with form and material were 'out'. The 'new' concerns were with process and content. There is another catalogue in the Library called '1965 to 1972 - when attitudes became form', (published in 1984 to accompany the exhibition held at Kettle's Yard Gallery, Cambridge and Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh), which puts the art of this period into perspective. One of the artists included in both of these exhibitions is Barry Flanagan.

comments: Not sure how morally upstanding it is to display a catalogue sponsored by the makers of Marlboro cigarettes (sponsors of the KKK......allegedly), but it looks like pretty interesting stuff. Kettle's Yard is a delightful place, where you can pick up the stones on display and rub them for inner calm!
