Genuine Conceptualism / Use Me

Herbert Foundation, Ghent

Genuine Conceptualism

Curator: Anton Herbert and Laura Hanssens

With Genuine Conceptualism, the Herbert Foundation invites Lynda Morris to provide a contemporary reflection on the artistic avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s, based on her personal archive. As a protagonist, Morris wrote for Studio International in those years and, in cooperation with Nigel Greenwood, Germano Celant and Konrad Fischer, built on close ties with such artists as Art & Language, Carl Andre, Joseph Beuys, André Cadere, Gilbert & George, David Lamelas and Mario Merz.

Based on an extensive selection of artworks, texts, press articles, correspondences, catalogues, posters and announcements, Lynda Morris will launch a discourse surrounding this period.
The title underlines the exhibition’s intention: the simultaneous exploration and opening up of what existed previously.

With Genuine Conceptualism, the Herbert Foundation presents the first in a series of archive exhibitions related to the planned opening of the Herbert Archive.

The exhibition will take place on the ground floor of the exhibitionspaces and will be accompanied by a publication bringing together a series of texts by Morris concerning the artistic events of the 1960s and 1970s.

Use Me

Curator: Anton Herbert and Laura Hanssens

Alongside Genuine Conceptualism, the Herbert Foundation will present Use Me in July 2014. This exhibition highlights both the field of tension and the symbiosis between a subjective selection of works from the Herbert Collection and some exceptional items on loan.

The title Use Me was taken from the etch by Bruce Nauman from 1988. As a part of the Herbert Collection, this work provides both a frame of reflection of the exhibition within which the selection of works is situated.

Apart from Bruce Nauman, the exhibition was put together by Anton Herbert and Laura Hanssens, and presents 40 works by Jean-Marc Bustamante, Wim Delvoye, Katharina Fritsch, Robert Gober, Mike Kelley, Martin Kippenberger, Paul McCarthy, Reinhard Mucha, Kurt Ryslavy, Thomas Schütte, Jan Vercruysse, Franz West and Heimo Zobernig.

From 4 July until 8 November 2014, Use me may be visited on the first floor of the exhibition spaces “As if it Could”.
