Description
Michael Asher's writings offer a unique insight into his artistic practice and its underlying principles. This collection brings together previously unpublished works, including notes, proposals, exhibition statements, and letters to curators and critics, providing a rare glimpse into the mind of a conceptual artist. Asher's approach to art was characterized by site specificity and institutional critique, with much of his work existing only in concept rather than physical form. His writings reveal the importance of documentation and writing as tools for working out ideas and negotiating artistic parameters. This collection presents Asher's thoughts on writing and documentation, artistic practice, teaching, and the role of art in public space. Through these texts, readers can see an artist at work, developing ethical and political strategies for making art in a situational world.
