ANDRZEJ PIERZGALSKI GALLERY. Artists’ Documents 4. Edition 4 – Program Assumptions

Summary/Abstract: During a particularly tense social and political context in the United States (the war in Indochina and Civil Rights movement protests), the circulation of materially inconspicuous documents, especially prints, made possible by the popularisation of photocopying in the 1960s, helped to eliminate certain hierarchies in the debate on art and society, which attracted transformation in both artist making and the way of practicing art criticism: this is the thesis put by Marie Adjedj in her doctoral dissertation, written under the supervision of Evelyne Toussain and defended at the Aix Marseille University in January 2019. In this article, proposed and elaborated by her, a key document of that time is analysed: an original example of art criticism edited under the authority of Lucy R. Lippard according to her instructions.
