  NSCAD University Press: Artists Talk

  NSCAD University Press and Printed Matter, Inc.
  are very pleased to announce a book launch event

  for Artists Talk: 1969-1977 on Thursday, November
  18, 2004, from 6 to 8 PM. Editor Peggy Gale and
  NSCAD University President Paul Greenhalgh will
  be present at the event to sign copies of the

  book and answer questions about NSCAD University
  Press. Printed Matter is located at 535 West 22nd
  Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues.

  Artist Talk: 1969-1977 is an insightful

  collection of transcriptions of historic talks by
  14 major international artists given early in
  their careers. Edited by Peggy Gale, Artists Talk
  includes lectures by Vito Acconci, Carl Andre,

  Joseph Beuys, Daniel Buren, James Lee Byars,
  Paterson Ewen, Robert Filliou, Dan Graham,
  Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Mel
  Ramsden for Art & Language, Alan Sondheim and

  Lawrence Weiner. An important resource for
  contemporary art and its attendant issues, 
  Artists Talk reveals artists' concerns during a
  period bracketed by conceptual art and an

  international restructuring of power and
  influence in the art world.

  "It's the first time these NSCAD lectures have
  been available in printed form," says Susan

  McEachern, Editorial Director of the NSCAD
  University Press, "and they have a real freshness
  and spontaneity to them. Students were present,
  and the verbal exchanges speak to the kind of

  climate here [at the Nova Scotia College of Art
  and Design] at the time; openly debating the art
  of the period."

  The Press of the Nova Scotia College of Art and

  Design was established in 1972 as a vehicle to
  publish books by and about leading contemporary
  artists. Between 1972 and 1987, 26 titles by such
  artists as Michael Snow, Steve Reich, Gerhard

  Richter and Yvonne Rainer were published. Re-
  launched in 2002, the NSCAD Press will once again
  establish the university as a source for the
  publishing of primary documents and scholarly

  works in the fields of contemporary art, craft
  and design.
