Dedicated to John Latham's heterogeneous and paradoxical practice, this book highlights the artist's contradictory relationship with knowledge and language, through a selection of texts and images of some of his projects, all articulated around a glossary of terms specific to Latham, compiling his own definitions and those of other authors.
Published follwing the exhibition Fabriques de contre-savoirs at 49 Nord 6 Est – Frac Lorraine, Metz, in 2018-2019.
John Latham (1921-2006) was a pioneer of Britishconceptual art, who, through painting, sculpture, performances, assemblages, films, installation and extensive writings, fuelled controversy and continues to inspire. A visionary in mapping systems of knowledge, whether scientific or religious, he developed his own philosophy of time, known as "Event Structure."
Edited by Colette Angeli and Fanny Gonella.
