Simon Hantaï: Round table discussion
No full textEdited transcript of the round table discussion about the work of Simon Hantaï held at the French Institute, 3 June 2014 François Rouan, Isabelle Monod-Fontaine, Mick Finch, Philip Armstrong, Stuart Elliot, Andy Harper, Laura Lisbon and Daniel Sturgis.
The round table discussed the work of the Hungarian painter Simon Hantaï (1922-2008) has gained increasing recognition in the last few years, particularly in terms of major retrospectives at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Villa Medici in Rome as well as an important exhibition at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York. After Hantaï moved to France in 1949, the series of paintings he made from the 1960s on – where processes of folding were materially at the heart of his practice – became a major and continuing influence on successive generations of French artists
Simon Hantaï: round table discussions
No full textThe work of the Hungarian painter Simon Hantaï (1922-2008) has gained increasing recognition in the last few years, particularly in terms of major retrospectives at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Villa Medici in Rome as well as an important exhibition at the Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York. After Hantaï moved to France in 1949, the series of paintings he made from the 1960s on – where processes of folding were materially at the heart of his practice – became a major and continuing influence on successive generations of French artists. The evening’s event will comprise two round table discussions. The first will look at the recent reception of Simon Hantaï and concentrate on a discussion with the artist François Rouan and Isabelle Monod-Fontaine who was one of the curators of the recent retrospective at the Centre Pompidou. The second will look at Simon Hantaï’s ongoing influence for subsequent artists and thinkers.
Speakers: François Rouan, Isabelle Monod-Fontaine, Mick Finch, Philip Armstrong, Stuart Elliot, Andy Harper, Laura Lisbon and Daniel Sturgi

The Exhibition of People's Technology, 1972
No full textAt the periphery of the landmark June 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (UNCHE) in Stockholm, in the Skeppsholmen Annexe of the Moderna Museet, the Exhibition of People’s Technology proposed that environmental crises could be addressed through the low-tech solutions of alternative technology. Alternative Technology (AT) was a term in use since the eponymous conference at the Bartlett School of Architecture the previous February. It was a de-industrialising movement which extolled the small-scale, decentralised, labour-intensive, energy-efficient, environmentally sound and locally controlled. One of a number of UNCHE fringe events sponsored by the Swedish “PowWow” group, the Exhibition of People’s Technology was organised by the UK editors of a new magazine Undercurrents: The Journal of Radical Science and People’s Technology, launched that same year.1 In 1976, its founder Godfrey Boyle co-edited a major and widely read survey of alternative technology, Radical Technology, with Peter Harper, to whom the term “alternative technology” is attributed (Boyle/Harper 1976). Harper, a student of biology and experimental psychology, was a key organiser of the Exhibition of People’s Technology and in 1983 joined the pivotal Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) in Wales, of which he had been a frequent visitor and occasional teacher since 1974.2
This article begins with Harper’s recollections of the exhibition and then moves to a record and discussion by Harper of its contents. It concludes with a more free-ranging conversation between Harper and design historian Simon Sadler about the exhibition’s philosophical and scientific context and implications, transcribed by Iris Xie.PREPRINT of interview articl
