William E. Jones, “KILLED", 2009 (excerpt)
sequence of digital files, black and white, silent, TRT: 1 minute and 44 seconds

During the Great Depression, the Historical Section of the Farm Security Administration documented American society in photographs. The director of this program, Roy Emerson Stryker, edited rolls of photographs taken in the field after they were sent to Washington, DC for processing. Not a photographer himself, but a social scientist and educator, Stryker had the ultimate say over which of the negatives exposed by FSA photographers were worthy of printing and publication. Thousands of the pictures made under the program’s auspices from 1935 to 1943 were rejected, or in Stryker’s term, killed. Roy Stryker and his assistants routinely killed 35mm negatives by punching holes in them, thereby rendering them unusable for publication. Photographers working under Stryker strenuously objected to an editorial practice that they regarded as dictatorial and capricious, and Stryker finally stopped destroying his subordinates’ work in the spring of 1939. All killed negatives were preserved and filed away, but they remained unprinted, and until recently, unseen. When the Library of Congress began making high resolution digital scans of FSA negatives available on its website, it included many rejected images, and among them, a small number of killed negatives mutilated by a hole punch. In “Killed", these suppressed images downloaded from the Library of Congress website have been reframed with the holes as the central feature, and edited in a quick montage showing glimpses of an unofficial view of Depression-era America.

Robert Rauschenberg “Gull (Jammer)”, 1976, (fabric 77 x 183 inches; 4 wooden poles, each 105 inches)

Almost completely devoid of imagery, Rauschenberg’s ‘Jammers' are made from sewn fabric that is usually hung directly on the wall, often in conjunction with rattan poles or other everyday objects. The series title is derived from “windjammer,” a type of sailboat; individual titles also often have nautical associations.

Castelli Gallery presented 9 new works in the exhibition “Robert Rauschenberg: Jammers” at 420 West Broadway, February 21 - March 14 1976

Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in cooperation with the Lichtenstein family and Castelli Gallery will present 'The Loaded Brush’ - a major exhibition of figurative and abstract paintings, sculptures, collages and drawings by Roy Lichtenstein from the 1980s, opening on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 11 am.

In the 1980s the artist developed a new visual language based on the form of the painted stroke, reduced to its simplest expression. Through these works Lichtenstein continued to refine and reinterpret the techniques and palette of his iconic Pop style, while engaging with a new subject matter: the brushstroke-form.

“Robert Morris”, Tate Gallery, 1971

Robert Morris’ exhibition at Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) in 1971 was one of the first truly interactive works of art, inviting and challenging audiences to participate. Comprised of large geometric objects, sculptures, and architectural elements, the installation received widespread public and media interest when it opened. Neither the Tate, nor Morris, anticipated the enormously enthusiastic response from the participating visitors to the work. Following a number of minor injuries it was closed after four days, due to the ‘exuberance and excited behaviour’ of the public. The exhibition re-opened shortly afterwards without the participatory element.

Using the original concept and plans for the exhibition, the work was reconfigured to the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall in 2009 as “Bodyspacemotionthings”. Robert Morris said: ‘It’s an opportunity for people to involve themselves with the work, become aware of their own bodies, gravity, effort, fatigue, their bodies under different conditions. I want to provide a situation where people can become more aware of themselves and their own experience rather than more aware of some version of my experience.’
