Keith Arnatt Invisible Hole, Revealed by the Shadow of the Artist 1968

Keith Arnatt The Absence of the Artist 1968 “Arnatt’s attitude towards ‘being an artist’ vacillated between contempt and curiosity and this tension birthed a number of works, as Arnatt continually revisited this terrain to find new pockets of insight. The Absence of the Artist brings together a range of this work, and the title image is a pure distillation of his ambivalence and crucially, his sense of humour. A sign is nailed to a brick wall declaring the absence of the artist, yet by denying his presence he paradoxically announces himself, heightening his role.” [x]

Hervé Gloaguen John Cage, David Tudor and Gordon Mumma performing Variations V for a television taping session in Hamburg, Germany 1966 Variations V is a homogeneous work, 40 minutes long, which does indeed combine Cage's music (not a conventionally melodious "score") with the choreography of Cage's partner, Merce Cunningham. Although performed worldwide at the time, filmmaker Stan VanDerBeek teamed with projection and "effects" specialist Nam June Paik as part of the creative multimedia team which supplied the filmed and still image projections in the backdrops and overlays for a filmed performance in 1966 at the NDR television studio in Hamburg.

Genevieve Naylor Josef Albers examining a folded paper construction with students at Black Mountain College 1946 “Throughout the Black Mountain College curriculum, art was a means for exploration and discovery. It was intrinsic to the daily operations of the school, which in turn carried over into life in general. At Black Mountain, art was considered academic, creative, social and holistic. This lesson was groundbreaking for many young modernist artists who came of age as Black Mountain students. Curator and author Helen Molesworth explains that, “this idea that art wasn’t something you made for an audience, you were both the audience and the maker. And that on any given day, you could be both or either, was essential to this way of thinking about art as not being separate from life, but as art being woven into the fabric of your life” [x]

That it doesn't stop there is also true for the stones. The mountains expand, flow, pulse, roar, split, although slowly. But what does slow mean to a mountain? Energy under the earth's crust, under the cranium. Can you see how all of it is moving, mixing, folding, expanding, even what you don't see? "The concept of totality exists in theory, not in life.” Just between us, there's a lot accumulating in the graves. Science is also porous, breathes with difficulty, scurries panicked through its institution; even the biologist, trainable and confused like his guinea pig, searches until he presses -so seldom!- the triggering key. Then a brief enlightenment, an outpouring of luck, flickering en route to fresh gloominess. From Thoughts on the Run I-V, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, trans.
