Joseph Kosuth, Robert Morris
Black & white illus. to lower wrapper. [4] pp. Square 4to (185 x 185 mm.), printed wrappers, staple-bound. Bradford, Massachusetts: Bradford Junior College, 1969.
Rare Seth Siegelaub (1941-2013) exhibition catalogue; we find only six copies in North American institutions. In 1968 and 1969 Siegelaub organized a series of shows on college campuses that highlighted Conceptual and Minimalist artists from America and Europe. He had staged a show at Bradford Junior College the year before, displaying the work of Carl Andre, Robert Barry, and Lawrence Weiner in cooperation with Douglas Huebler who was teaching there. For the present 1969 exhibition a seminar with Kosuth, Morris and Siegelaub was held at the college’s Laura Knott Gallery on 5 March.
The artists’ works are succinctly recorded in the catalogue:
Kosuth: “1. II. Relation (Art as Idea as Idea), 1968 / (Consisting of 3 parts: A. Absolute Relation / B. Partial Relation / C. Correspondence of Relationship) / Each part will appear separately in 3 local publications.”
Morris: “1. There are two temperatures: one outside, one inside. 1969.”
“After the exhibition Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Lawrence Weiner was held at Bradford Junior College, it was Kosuth’s and Morris’s turn to be invited there by Douglas Huebler, along with Siegelaub. The two artists decided to make work ‘without walls’: Kosuth published one element of his multi-part work The Second Investigation in three local newspapers, while Morris used the entire campus as the site of an environment and conceptual installation. The two interventions were brought together and listed in an almost entirely white catalogue, edited by Siegelaub, with an aerial photograph of the college and its gallery on the last page.”–Seth Siegelaub: Beyond Conceptual Art (2016), p. 148.
Near fine condition.
