ten posters. Illustrations for art & language
On the day of the preview, the work of art travels from Montsoreau to Tours on a boat sailing on the Loire. Its virtual form is therefore stored on a USB key.
When it arrives, it instantly and physically takes shape in the transparent galleries at the cccod.
This poetic production of the work clearly illustrates one of the key issues related to conceptual art, dedicating as much attention to the concept as to
the resulting object.
Since 2016, the collector Philippe Méaille has exhibited his collection of Art & Language works at the Château de Montsoreau.
It is considered the largest collection in the world of this group of artists underlying conceptual art.
art & language
Today comprised of Michael Baldwin (1945) and Mel Ramsden (1944), who still identify as part of the collective, Art & Language was founded in 1967 in Great Britain by four individuals. Terry Atkinson, David Bainbridge, Michael Baldwin, and Harold Hurrell met in 1966 while teaching art in Coventry. They immediately began producing collaborative works and working on a journal project, Art-Language, the first issue of which was published in 1969 and which gave its name to the collective. Charles Harrison (1942-2009) and Mel Ramsden joined the group in 1970.
Between the late 1960s and the early 1980s, around fifty British and American artists and critics joined Art & Language.
It was a fluctuating collective of conceptual artists that encouraged theoretical exchanges between all its members. They shared similar convictions: conceptual art was a critique of modernism as an institutionalised system.
