Author Description

Initiated in Antwerp in 1969 by a progressive group of collectors, gallery owners, as well as art mediators, and supervised by Kasper König, the project space A 37 90 89 developed a diverse curatorial practice that tested alternative models of art production and art mediation beyond the institutions. The volume published on the occasion of the exhibition A 37 90 89 shines light on the events in the context of the historical project space A 37 90 89, where the radical changes of the way contemporary art is presented and received, which resulted from the political and artistic upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s, were expressed in an emblematic way. The publication encompasses hitherto unpublished material on the history of A 37 90 89. --Publisher's website.
