Hybrid practices : art in collaboration with science and technology in the long 1960s /
Cateforis, David,editor.
Duval, Steven,editor.
Steiner, Shep,editor.
"In Hybrid Practices, essays by established and emerging scholars investigate the rich ecology of practices that typified the era of the Cold War. The volume showcases three projects that were at the forefront of unprecedented collaboration between the arts and new sectors of industrial society in the 1960s and 70s --Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.), the Art and Technology Project at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (A&T), and the Artist Placement Group (APG) in the U.K. The subjects covered range from collaborative projects between artists and scientists to commercial ventures and experiments in intermedia, onto to multi-disciplinary undertakings, effacing authorship to activate the spectator, suturing gaps between art and government, or remapping the landscape of everyday life in terms of technological mediation. Among the artists discussed in the volume and of interest to a broad public beyond the art world include John Cage, Hans Haacke, Robert Irwin, John Latham, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Sol LeWitt, Carolee Schneemann, James Turrell, Yvonne Rainer, Robert Rauschenberg, and Robert Whitman. This valuable collection aims to introduce readers not only to hybrid work in and as depth, but also to work in and as breadth, across disciplinary practices where the real questions of hybridity are determined."--Provided by publisher.
