69: RETRIEVING THE BLACK BOX OF CONCEPT ART

Ian Burn, Installation photograph for Xerox Books, Pinacotheca, 1969

EXHIBITION OPENS 3 AUGUST 2013

Curated by Ann Stephen this exhibition is a reconstruction of the first Conceptual art exhibition in Australia sent by Ian Burn, Roger Cutforth and Mel Ramsden in 1969 to Pinacotheca gallery, Melbourne. The reconstruction will be accompanied by video, journals, paintings and other works made at the time by the three young artists to reveal not only a broader context for their work but also how their concept art came out of working at the edge of late modernist painting.
