NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: THE FIELD NOW (1984) • Catalogue published in the occasion of the exhibition "THE FIELD NOW" held at Heide Park and Art Gallery, Bulleen, September 4 - October 21 1984, curated by Sue Cramer. • Features the work of Art & Language, Robert Hunter, Tim Johnson, David Aspden, Col Jordan, Sydney Ball, Michael Kitching, Tony Bishop, Allun Leach-Jones, Alan Oldfield, Peter Booth, Paul Partos, Gunter Christmann, John Peart, Tony Coleing, Dale Hickey, Ron Robertson-Swann, James Doolin, Robert Rooney, Udo Sellbach, Dick Watkins, Robert Jacks. • "Controversy inevitably surrounds large contemporary group exhibitions which demonstrate a curatorial bias. The Field, the inaugural exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1968 and shown afterwards at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, was no exception. Now, some sixteen years later, this exhibition The Field Now has been conceived in order to look again at the current work of artists who were selected for the earlier exhibition. [...] while this catalogue documents the current exhibition it also provides a forum for a contemporary discussion of The Field, the broader issues associated with the period of Australian art which that exhibition exemplified, and subsequent developments." - excerpt from foreword by Maudie Palmer • Texts by curator Sue Cramer, director Maudie Palmer, artists Ian Burn and Nigel Lendon, and writers John Stringer and Patrick McCaughey. Includes bibliographical references and full colour illustrations. • One copy via our website and in the bookshop. • #worldfoodbooks #thefieldnow #thefield #suecramer #heidemuseumofmodernart #maudiepalmer #ianburn #nigellendon #patrickmccaughey #johnstringer #roberhunter #dalehickey #robertrooney #gunterchristmann #robertjacks #peterbooth #sydneyball #alunleachjones #coljordon #dickwatkins #artandlanguage #paulpartos #johnpeart #tonybishop #ronrobertsonswann #jamesdoolin #udosellbach #tonycoleing #timjohnson #davidaspen #michaelkitching #alanoldfield (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)

NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: WORKING ART : A SURVEY OF ART IN THE AUSTRALIAN LABOUR MOVEMENT IN THE 1980'S CURATED BY IAN BURN (1985) • Very scarce catalogue and unique valuable resource published to accompany the exhibition "Working Art: A Survey of Art in The Australian Labour Movement in The 1980's", curated by Australian conceptual artist, curator and writer Ian Burn for the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1985. Designed by Michael Davies of the Art Workers Union (AWU), this heavily illustrated (in colour and black and white) catalogue surveys the Banners, Posters, Graphics, Photographs, and Media of the Australian Labour movement during the 1980's, as well as a detailed "Historical Sketch" written and compiled by Ian Burn and Sandy Kirby that illustrates the rich history of the Arts in Australian unionism and communities. Alongside the many exhibited prints and textiles, there is photo documentation throughout of marches, performances, artist's at work, historical exhibitions, plus reproductions of newsletters, newspapers, cartoons, announcements, along with further accompanying introductory texts and a bibliography. • Includes inserted Trade Union Information Kit "Art and Working Life : The Victorian Trades Hall Council Arts Workshop" booklet that takes an illustrated look at the activities of the VTHC Workshop in the 1980s. A perfect accompaniment to this catalogue. Also, errata slip enclosed from the NSW catalogue. • Ian Burn (1939-1993) was an Australian conceptual artist, curator and writer who spent the first part of his career working in London and New York. It was here that he began working with Art & Language, a collaborative group who produced the publication Art-Language and whose members included artists Roger Cutforth, Joseph Kosuth and Mel Ramsden. Returning to Australia in 1977 Burn became involved in the Art Workers Union (AWU), a political and social platform that championed artists’ rights and helped change the landscape and expectations under which artists worked in Australia. • Available via our website and in the bookshop. • #worldfoodbooks #mayday #ianburn #australianlabourmovement #awu #artworkersunion #vthcworkshop (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
