In collaboration with Afterall Books and the Vancouver Art Gallery, New Documents presents a joint launch event for 4,492,040 and From Conceptualism to Feminism: Lucy Lippard’s Numbers Shows 1969–74 (Afterall Books, in association with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, and Van Abbemuseum, 2012)
Join Cornelia Butler, Chief Curator of Drawings at the Museum of Modern Art New York and author of “Women – Concept – Art†in From Conceptualism to Feminism, and Grant Arnold, Audain Curator of British Columbia Art at the Vancouver Art Gallery, for an informal discussion of Lippard’s catalogs within the context of the exhibitions they accompanied.
Drawn from material originally published between 1969 and 1974, 4,492,040 includes reprints of all four of the hugely important catalogs from the “numbers shows†produced for a series of exhibitions named for the populations of the cities in which they were held: 557,087 (Seattle), 955,000 (Vancouver), c.7,500 (Valencia, California), and 2,972,453 (Buenos Aires). As with the originals, 4,492,040 is made up of a collection of loose notecards containing statements, documentation, and conceptual works by each artist, to be rearranged, filed, or discarded at will. This new edition is supplemented by a new afterword by Lippard.
4,492,040 contains work by over 100 artists, including Vito Acconci, Carl Andre, Eleanor Antin, Siah Armajani, Terry Atkinson, John Baldessari, Daniel Buren, Rosemarie Castoro, Hanne Darboven, Walter de Maria, Jan Dibbets, Christos Dikeakos, Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, Eva Hesse, Douglas Huebler, On Kawara, Sol LeWitt, Duane Lundon, Bruce McLean, Robert Morris, N.E. Thing Co., Bruce Nauman, Adrian Piper, Allen Ruppersberg, Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, Jeff Wall, and Lawrence Weiner.
Edited by Jeff Khonsary and co-presented with the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Seattle Art Museum, 4,492,040 is available for order through DAP (US/Canada), Motto Distribution (Europe/Asia), and directly from New Documents.
