Abstract

"In the late 1950s, experiments such as the cybernetic sculptures of Nicolas Schöffer or the programmatic music compositions of John Cage and Iannis Xenakis transposed systems theory from the sciences to the arts. By the 1960s, artists as diverse as Roy Ascott, Hans Haacke, Robert Morris, Sonia Sheridan, and Stephen Willats were breaking with accepted aesthetics to embrace open systems that emphasized organism over mechanism, dynamic processes of interaction among elements, and the observer’s role as an inextricable part of the system. Jack Burnham’s 1968 Artforum essay “Systems Aesthetics” and his 1970 “Software” exhibition marked the high point of systems-based art until its resurgence in the changed conditions of the twenty-first century." -- Publisher's website.

Abstract

Providing a re-examination of what Osborne identifies as a major turning point in contemporary art, this monograph takes a chronological and stylistic look at conceptual art from its “pre-history” (1950-1960) to contemporary practices that use conceptual strategies. Osborne surveys the development of the movement in relation to the social, cultural and political contexts within which it evolved. With extended captions, key works are compiled according to ten themes that also serve to present a collection of critical texts, artists’ statements, interviews and commentaries. Includes biographical notes on artists (6 p.) and authors (2 p.), a bibliography (2 p.) and an onomastic index (4 p.) Circa 150 bibl. ref.

13. MARY BETH EDELSON'S GREAT GODDESS.

Author

Burnham, Jack

Abstract

The article focuses on the works of Mary Beth Edelson. The author inferred that the strength of Edelson's art lies in the fact that it tends to go to the sources of female creativity. He averred that symbolism also played a big part for her exhibition at the Henri 2 Gallery in Washington, D.C. The author added that "Some Living American Women Artists" was created by Edelson to make a political statement about feminism.

14. HUEBLER'S PINWHEEL AND THE LETTER TAU.

Author

Burnham, Jack

Abstract

The article analyzes the significance of the logotype in Marcel Duchamp's stock certificate designed by Douglas Huebler. With regards to the roulette wheel situated in the back of Duchamp's head, there is evidence that the letter Tau signifies his Monte Carlo Bond. It is said that Huebler's art shows that the ability to be integrated within the paradigms of nature determines aesthetic validity. The moral of the stock issue is that winning and losing in gambling are equally evil.

15. MONDRIAN'S AMERICAN CIRCLE.

Author

Burnham, Jack

Abstract

The article discusses the influence of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian to the works of his American followers such as Harry Holtzman, Charles G. Shaw and Ilya Bolotowsky. Shaw's work is seen to have echoed the indecision in 1930s American abstraction, while Holtzman is considered as the true eccentric of the group, with his own artistic use of Pure Plastic principles. Bolotowsky is absorbed with Mondrian's stylistic handwriting but with no clear grasp of its evolutionary optical principles.

16. CONTEMPORARY RITUAL: A Search for Meaning in Post-Historical Terms.

Author

Burnham, Jack

Abstract

The article focuses on the approaches used by artists in contemporary ritual, a form of documentary art which enacts historic ceremonial events. It claims that plastic art allows the activity to look more appropriate and more civilized. While most artists are convinced that ritual is an interface between nature and culture, others choose to adopt the concept of anti-ritualism. Meanwhile, sculptor Newton Harrison believes that one's homage to life-support systems can make ritual more efficient.

17. TOWARDS A WORKING ONTOLOGY OF ART.

Author

Burnham, Jack

Abstract

The article discusses the relation of universals or archetypes to the themes of art, theater and dreams. It is acknowledged that universals account for the formation of three basic types of human communication, referring to speech, gesture and iconicity. Psychiatrist Carl Jung is the modern scientist who first suggested this relation. Jung's theory reveals that the hope of maintaining the code of universals is transferred to inanimate objects like paintings and sculpture.

Author

Burnham, Jack

Abstract

The article discusses the philosophical theory of the creations of end game arts. It recognizes Marcel Duchamp as one of the artists who used games, particularly chess, to construct an ideology of complete conflict in the 1960s and 1970s. It offers explanation about the connection of end games and ancient conflict, and informs several figurative artworks made by Duchamp. Meanwhile, it claims that the artworks symbolize the real tragedy happened in the ancient time.

Author

Burnham, Jack

Abstract

The article offers information on the aesthetic device called the Chocolate Grinder in a painting which functions as a dialectical program. Its revolving rollers determine the devolution of the triadic structure controlling nonobjective art. The nickled chassis reminds that iron, which is described as the Alchemical metal of lust and blind carving, is an underlying element of the machine.

Abstract

"Jack Burnham's 'The Structure of Art' is the latest in a series of complex theoretical books that promise to change the way we teach and think about art - books as radical as modern art itself.

Author

Burnham, Jack and Burnham, Jack

Abstract

Burnham's examination of modern sculpture centers on the changing status of the art objects in a system-oriented culture. References are made to Marx's concept of reification and Jungian psychology to show how science and technology are responsible for sculpture's material and psychic break with the past. Topics such as vitalism, formalism, phenomenalism, automata, kineticism, light art and cybernetics are considered in light of the coercive nature of technics. Index of names. 460 bibl. ref.

45. QUALITY AND THE ART OF HITCHHIKING.

Author

Burnham, Jack

Abstract

The article discusses various perspectives of quality in art. It cites the statement of author Robert Pirsig when he said that quality is subjective rather than objective because it does not reside in the material world nor in the mind. On the other hand, it states that quality in art is both reductive and deductive and implies a rational and causalistic perspective of the present through the past.
