Just what is it that makes English artwriting so different, so appealing?
No full textA review of Artwriting, Nation, and Cosmopolitanism in Britain: The ‘Englishness’ of English Art Theory since the Eighteenth Century. Mark A. Cheetham examines three centuries of English artwriting in which he traces an enduring preoccupation with nation, nationalism, and Englishness. Emphasizing the theoretical nature of all artwriting, Cheetham seeks to recover the theoretical underpinnings of an English authorial tradition that frequently defined itself in opposition to Continental aesthetic theory
Remembering Postmodernism : Trends in Recent Canadian Art
No full textIn an examination of the mnemonic dimensions of Canadian postmodernism, Cheetham focuses on the relation of postmodernism to the historical past and memory in defining a subject in works of art; the author also considers the social and political uses of memory, giving special attention to the dimensions of play and gender. Hutcheon's essay maps the territory of Canadian postmodernism and argues for a politicized understanding of postmodernist theory and practice. Biographical notes on the authors and 35 artists. Index of names. Bibl. 3 p
Gerhard Richter, Locio Fontana, Taras Polataiko : Slippage
No full textBaldissera examines the work of the artists in the exhibition and suggests that by incorporating and commenting on other mediums, their paintings explore issues of representation and illusion.

David Urban : Parts of a World
No full textCatalogue to accompany a touring exhibition of Urban’s abstract paintings from 1994-1999. Pagel’s detailed descriptions of selected paintings focus on formal characteristics. In a transcribed dialogue between Urban and Moos, the artist’s use of line, colour and brush stroke are situated within the context of modernist painting (primarily American abstraction). Other topics discussed include: the body reference in abstraction, the significance of titles, and the relation between modern self/world. Cheetham situates Urban’s work within a “language of abstraction” drawn from works by artists such as Malevich, Kandinsky, Cézanne and Rothko. Biographical notes. 30 bibl. ref
1911 : An Exhibition by C. Wells
No full textAiming to uncover the code within the work, Hunter situates C. Wells’ project in the tradition of Modern American painting (and alters his perceptions of painting in the process). Cheetham underscores the social aspects of abstraction in the artist's work. Wells’ texts play with language, sign systems and the history of painting lines on roads. List of works. Biographical notes. 4 bibl. ref
A multivariate approach to bidding strategies
No full textA multivariate approach to bidding strategy is presented in comparison with previous standard approaches. An optimal formulation is derived and a method of parameter estimation proposed. A case study illustrates the derivation of optimal and other strategic mark up values against a single bidder. Concluding remarks concern extensions to multiple competitors differing levels of information, and sensitivity analysis
"Artist Writings: Critical Essays, Reception, and Conditions of Production since the 60s"
No full textThis dissertation uncovers the history of what is today generally accepted in the art world, that artists are also artist-writers. I analyse a shift from writing by artists as an ostensible aberration to artist writing as practice. My structuring methodology is assessing artist writings and their conditions and reception in their moment of production and in their singularity. In Part 1, I argue that, while the Abstract-Expressionist artist-writers were negatively received, a number of AbEx-inflected conditions influenced and made manifest the valuing of artist writings. I demonstrate that Donald Judd conceived of writing as stemming from the same methods and responsibilities of the artist — following the guiding principle that art comes from art, from taking into account developments of the recent past — and as an essayistic means to argumentatively air his extra-art concerns; that writing for Dan Graham was an art world right of entry; and that Robert Smithson treated words as primary substances in a way that complicates meaning in his articles and in his objects and earthworks, in the process introducing a modernist truth to materials that gave the writing cachet while also serving as the basis for its domestication. In chronicling the reception of these artists’ written production at the time of its writing, I conclude that writing that could be related to artists’ visual practices is what resonated in the late 60s. In Part 2, I explore Frank Bowling’s public deliberation on the relationship of black experience to modernist painting in Arts Magazine; Art & Language’s supposition that an editorial might count as art — arguing that it always already came up for the count as secondary-primary artist writing; female artist-writers’ disclosure of their art and writing in new feminist-founded magazines; and critics’ recognition of artist writings as a critical space. I conclude by proposing that the profusion of and demand for artist writings were constituted by the poststructuralist death of the author along with a persistent meaning-limiting author-function. This study confirms that critical engagement with writing by artists is a challenge: to viewers/readers, to art writers, and to artist-writers during the nascent era of artist writing.Ph
