Biography
English painter, sculptor, performance artist and director, John Latham's work has been most identified with Conceptual Art. He studied at the Chelsea School of Art in London between 1946 and 1950 and, after 1954, his major concern became, not the production of art as a means in itself but the various processes and, consequently, with the register in three dimensions of sequences of events or patterns of knowledge. After the 50s, his art became essentially experimental, which brought him to carry out constant research on Conceptual Art, Performance Art, paintings, montages, films and videos. In 1966, Latham created the Artist Placement Group, a sociological and aesthetic programme to place artists in industry, science and government, so as to generate alternatives to the sub-division of power systems.
