April 10 - 16, 2020
CCA Books features ‘art magazine’ from CCA Library collection, that remains on view through April 16th at CCA Books space at Tatsuno, Japan.
Magazine and newspaper have been a very important arena for artists and curators in order to explore and extend their thought and activities. The artists like
Joseph Kosuth and Dan Graham started their project on the pages of magazine and newspaper in 60s and 70s, and their work questioned the concept of ‘Location’ and ‘site’ outside the conventional physical space of ‘white cube.’ Thus those art works revealed an art world system existed between art and people, by reaching to the audience in a broader sense because of the mobility, affordability and this familiar format for everyone – and resulted in the expansion of our perception about art.
When artists worked on the pages at magazine, their interventions were, unintentionally and sometimes intentionally, juxtaposed to other articles,
advertisements or photographs in those days – and conceived a new meaning and perspective by chance.
Now the Internet makes unexpected connections in a totally different way, and creates/transmits a new context – globally and instantly. Because of that we have now a new perspective by the Internet, our relationship with art will keep changing.
At CCA Books please find how these paper materials in your hands work as a platform for art and knowledge last decades.
