THE FUTILITY OF MAKING SALAD: Publication Launch and Panel Discussion
where: 970 North Broadway, Suite 211, Los Angeles, CA 90012
. . .
THE FUTILITY OF MAKING SALAD
Joseph Kosuth, in “Art and Its Public” defined an artist community as “...a community of artists who collectively, through individual effort, define what is meaningful at a particular historical moment concretely within the practice of their activity.” And comedian Stephen Fry, while viciously ripping into a head of lettuce, asks why making a salad (with no other motive other than love!) (and a decent desire!) is so frustratingly futile. We have invited a number of artists to address the question: is there such a thing as an artist community? Do they feel a part of one? What constitutes it? What would it mean to be able to collectively define meaning today, in a diverse and ever-changing art world?
MATERIAL, an artist-run journal publishing and supporting the artist’s voice, in collaboration with Insert Press, has collected the responses to this question and created a publication of these texts that begin to describe our ‘particular moment.’ With cover design and screenprinting by Maggie White Lomeli and Insert Press, and interior layout design & typesetting by Daniel Lucas, The Futility of Making Salad features texts by the following artists:
Harold Abramowitz
Please join us Sunday, October 3, at 1p for a panel discussion around the topic of community and a launch of the publication - both entitled The Futility of Making Salad.
Panel members include:
We will be making a gigantic salad for everyone to share. Please bring a vegetable.
Sunday, October 3, 1-3p
