7A6548E4-66CD-49BE-946F-FFCEA98A7FC9.jpgi’ve had few words to say myself about this exhi­bi­tion, which seems to have slipped under my radar, prob­a­bly with all the upheaval of try­ing to rebuild this web­site again from scratch, and my recent focus on image.

text-based art in the 1960s was related to the con­crete poetry move­ment, con­cep­tual art, and later had ram­i­fi­ca­tions for the con­cep­tion of images, not as rep­re­sen­ta­tion, but texts in them­selves, the idea that art work is pri­mar­ily a sig­ni­fy­ing prac­tice has dom­i­nated dis­course within the visual arts since then. the work on show here is a very broad church indeed from philip gus­ton through to ian hamil­ton finlay
