APG and John Latham
<p>Tuesday 23 October 2012, 6.30pm</p> <p>This fourth public discussion based on APG’s discursive format <em>The Sculpture</em> looks at the complex and often problematic position of John Latham within APG. His ‘time-based’ theories according to which space and objects are displaced by time and events, played a significant role in how APG identified itself and defined his work on placement with the Scottish Office and the National Coal Board. His re-configuration of the artist as an ‘incidental person’ led to conflict amongst the Group’s members. This discussion – moderated by Claire Louise Staunton (Director of Flat Time House) with participants including Clive Phillpot, Gavin Wade, Antony Hudek and Barbara Steveni – consider to what extent Latham’s work and ideas have come to shape what we know as APG.</p> <p>This event was part of the exhibition:<br /> <em>The Individual and the Organisation: Artist Placement Group 1966-79</em><br /> 27 September to 16 December 2012</p>
