Event-Structure (c.1945) - - Theory proposed by the British artist John Latham which stresses the importance of process over product: structures in events (through time) are more valid than structure in art objects (in space). - In 1967 Latham’s ideas were adopted by Theo Botschiver, Jeffery Shaw and Sean Wellesley-Miller who formed the Event-structure Research Group (ERG) in Amsterdam. They proposed an alternative to ‘museum art’ by staging public events, encouraging physical participation, ‘operational art’ and ‘art of real consequences’. - - J Latham ‘Eventstructure’, Studio International, vol. CLXXIV (September, 1967), 82 |
