«Language is just another material to make visual art. Just because you paint a house with paint doesn't mean it can no longer be used to make a painting, and just because you’re in a garage doesn't make you a car. Language should be just as versatile a material once it enters into the palette of contemporary art as any other thing has entered.» ― Lawrence Weiner in conversation with Ann Temkin and John Ravenal, 1994

Experimental Magazines and the International Avant-Gardes, 1945–75

Monday, December 11, 2006 6:00 p.m. This panel considers various aspects of the avant-garde magazine. Examining experimental journals that were conceived as ongoing platforms for new works of art, graphic experimentation, and simultaneous expression in the arts, literature, philosophy, politics, and other fields, participants discuss the ways in which magazines represented the ideas of particular artistic and intellectual communities, even as they responded to and disseminated ideas internationally. With Liza Bear, former editor and co-founder with Willoughby Sharp of Avalanche magazine (1970–76); Benjamin Buchloh, Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of Modern Art, Harvard University and former editor of Interfunktionen (1968–75); Edward Sullivan, Dean for the Humanities and Professor of Fine Arts, New York University; and Willoughby Sharp, independent curator, artist, and former publisher and co-founder of Avalanche. Moderated by David Little, Director of Adult and Academic Programs, The Museum of Modern Art.

Great brief documentary on Willoughby Sharp, Dennis Oppenheim, and the Earth Art exhibition at Cornell in 1969. I can't wait for more of the original footage to be available. I smell an archive visit!

Willoughby Sharp interview with Vito Acconci (1973) "Wonderful early interview with performance artist Vito Acconci from 1973 during the height of his importance as a performance artist (ie., before he began moving into sculpture and, eventually, architecture.) Video quality is poor - there's an interference line running though the picture for muc of this, but the expressions and the all-important audio are fine. Acconci is captivating as always. Lots of smoking and drinking in this informal session. A must for Acconci fans and those interested in this vital moment in the transformation of contemporary art."
