JOHN LATHAM: TIME BASE AND THE UNIVERSE
October 29, 2006 - January 8, 2007
(Long Island City, NY – August 10, 2006) P.S.1 proudly presents Time Base and the Universe, an exhibition of approximately thirty works by the late British artist John Latham (1921-2006). Conceived with the artist prior to his death in January 2006, the show surveys the major stages of his career, spanning over fifty years. Time Base and the Universe is on view in the second floor Main Gallery from October 29, 2006 through January 8, 2007.
"John Latham is an artist's artist," notes David Thorp, curator of the exhibition. "His significance places him between Joseph Bueys and Robert Rauschenberg as someone whose ideas and influence have helped to shape late twentieth century art."
With his uncompromising endeavor to explore some of the most complex cosmological ideas through art, and due to his criticism of the art market, he was both acclaimed and vilified in his lifetime. Visceral and enigmatic, his work encompassed sculpture, performance, installation, film, conceptual, and book art. Creating a unified theory of existence, Latham combined art, science, and philosophy, thus challenging the views of professionals in each field. "even tstructu re" was the main sustaining principle of his art and suggests that the most basic component of reality is not the particle, as understood through physics, but a "least event" – or the shortest departure from a state of nothing.
