A Minimal Future?
Museum of Contemporary Art - MOCA, Los Angeles
Art as Object 1958-1968. A large-scale historical exhibition to examine the emergence of minimal art. It features over 150 key selections and bodies of work by 40 American artists who emerged by the early-to-mid-1960s. The exhibition takes its title from the cover of the March 1967 issue of Arts Magazine, which included feature articles by critic John Perreault and artist Dan Graham assessing the status and implications of minimalism
A Minimal Future? is the first large-scale historical exhibition in the United States to examine the emergence of minimal art. Occupying the entire gallery space at MOCA's California Plaza location, it features over 150 key selections and bodies of work by 40 American artists who emerged by the early-to-mid-1960s.
The artists include: Carl Andre, Michael Asher, Richard Artschwager, Jo Baer, Robert Barry, Larry Bell, Ronald Bladen, Mel Bochner, John Chamberlain, Judy Chicago, Dan Flavin, Dan Graham, Robert Grosvenor, Hans Haacke, Eva Hesse, Douglas Huebler, Ralph Humphrey, Robert Huot, Robert Irwin, Patricia Johanson, Donald Judd, Craig Kauffman, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, John McCracken, Paul Mogensen, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, David Novros, Claes Oldenburg, Dorothea Rockburne, Robert Ryman, Richard Serra, Tony Smith, Robert Smithson, Frank Stella, Anne Truitt, and Lawrence Weiner.
The exhibition takes its title from the cover of the March 1967 issue of Arts Magazine, which included feature articles by critic John Perreault and artist Dan Graham assessing the status and implications of minimalism. By spring of 1967, so-called "minimal art" had been nearly canonized as a movement, and its impact on future practices was being debated by both its critics and its proponents.
A Minimal Future? Art as Object 1958-1968 examines one of the most important aesthetic movements of the 20th century, which has continued to influence future generations. More than four decades after the work featured in this exhibition first emerged, it poses the questions: What were the polemics of minimal art-its practitioners, curators, critics, and historians? And what are the consequences of minimal art today?
A Minimal Future? is accompanied by a 452-page, fully illustrated book, co-published with MIT Press. Essayists include Diedrich Diederichsen, Jonathan Flatley, Anne Rorimer, Lucy R. Lippard, and exhibition curator Ann Goldstein.
