London.: Projects UK / Artangel., 1987.. Four sheets. (each 1510 x 1020 mm). . Lithograph with additional acrylic paint highlights, in four sections. Numerous repairs to edge tears; pinholes in corners of sheets. Conrad Atkinson's art melds the methods of conceptual art with the goals of political activism. In contrast to the esoteric, formalistic, and linguistic concerns of much late 1960s conceptual art, the defining principle of Atkinson's work since the early 1970s has been to function as a crucial reflector of immediate political and economic realities and as a catalyst for social change. Community participation rather than isolation, instrumentalism rather than detachment became Atkinson's goals. His reconnection of avant-garde artistic practice with a socio-political agenda was echoed in the work of a number of his contemporaries, most notably Adrian Piper, Hans Haacke, Joseph Beuys, and Ilya Kabakov.This 'billboard' is one of about 40 copies that were made; they were commissioned by… Read More
