Identifier: CC-43926-46036
Scope and Contents

This book illustrates and describes the monochromatique color themed events organized and produced by Hubaut in various towns in France and Japan. Hubaut writes, "I have chosen to develop my current practice on colour from the three founding elements in modern art - the monochrome, the ready-made and the gesture. I construct my monchrome 'sites' from given or borrowed objects donated by a public often isolated from the art melieu. This is a tactic to reach a wider audience."

SF / Finlay, Ian Hamilton ; Thomson, George L.., 1978

 Item
Identifier: CC-12529-12756
Scope and Contents

At Finlay's Serpentine exhibition (1977) in which Bernini's "Apollo and Daphne" was shown, the Nazi SS organization was equated with nature. It signified the ultimate 'wildness' on a scale whose other 'cultivated' extreme was the 18th century. This book traces the progression (or descent) from the civilized script of this period in which 'f's were customerly substituted for 's's - to the double lightening stroke emblem of the SS; a gradation between 'Culture' and 'Nature.' -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
