Group Material / Inserts
GROUP MATERIAL (1979 - 1996)
New York, Public Art Fund Inc., [1988], 27,7 × 21,1 cm, pp. [12 including covers], With Inserts, Group Material moved political art out of the exhibition space and into the Sunday newspaper. Distributed with selected copies of The New York Times on May 22, 1988, the newsprint supplement used mass circulation itself as part of the work, bringing together contributions by Mike Glier, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Carrie Mae Weems, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Nancy Spero, Nancy Linn, Hans Haacke, Richard Prince, and Louise Lawler. The project addressed AIDS, abortion, the Iran-Contra affair, racial and gender inequality, and the nuclear arms race, while questioning who art is made for, where it belongs, and how political meaning changes once it enters everyday public life. Organized for Group Material by Doug Ashford, Julie Ault, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres in collaboration with the Public Art Fund.
