Author Description

Documenting Cadere, 1972–1978 offers a chronology of André Cadere’s exhibitions, appearances, walks and lectures during the last six years of his life. This major piece of research shifts the focus away from the round bars of wood as objects, and instead focuses on the meanings generated by the printed documents (gallery invitations, notices of lectures and mailings) that record Cadere’s actions and social relationships. These documents come predominantly from two sources, the archive of Lynda Morris and the Herbert Collection in Ghent. The publication contains new translations of lectures given by Cadere; an interview with the artist conducted by Morris in 1976; plus new essays by Morris, and two other figures who worked closely with Cadere, British curator Barry Barker and Italian gallerist Massimo Minini.
