Abstract
ABSTRACT The collision of constructivist artistic practice and structuralist philosophy was showcased in the journal Form, published from 1966 to 1969 out of Cambridge, England. Concrete poetry flourished alongside kinetic art; architecture dissolved into environmental design; experimentation with new media techniques replaced expressions of meaning. This essay describes how the editorial work that brought Form into being served to gather disparate strands into a shared disciplinary agenda that marks an apotheosis of 1960s visual art.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Visual Art Practice (JVAP) is a forum of debate and inquiry for research in art. JVAP is concerned with visual art practice including the social, economic, political and cultural frames within which the formal concerns of art and visual art practice are located. The journal is concerned with research engaged in these disciplines, and with the contested ideas of knowledge formed through that research. JVAP welcomes submissions that explore new theories of research and practice and work on the practical and educational impact of visual arts research. JVAP recognises the diversity of research in art and visual arts, and as such, we encourage contributions from scholarly and pure research, as well as developmental, applied and pedagogical research. In addition to established scholars, we welcome and are supportive of submissions from new contributors including doctoral researchers. We seek contributions engaged with, but not limited to, these themes: -Art, visual art and research into practitioners'' methods and methodologies -Art , visual art, big data, technology, and social change -Art, visual art, and urban planning -Art, visual art, ethics and the public sphere -Art, visual art, representations and translation -Art, visual art, and philosophy -Art, visual art, methods, histories and beliefs -Art, visual art, neuroscience and the social brain -Art, visual art, and economics -Art, visual art, politics and power -Art, visual art, vision and visuality -Art, visual art, and social practice -Art, visual art, and the methodology of arts based research
