at Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Halifax
Halifax, NS, Canada
Apr 13, 13 - Jun 23, 13

Nova Scotia artist David Askevold (1940-2008) is recognized as one of the most important contributors to the development and pedagogy of conceptual art. His work was included in the seminal exhibition Information at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1970 that cemented conceptualism as a genre. Further recognition during this period led to his inclusion in Lucy Lippard's book Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object from 1966 to 1972, illustrated coverage in Rosalind Krauss's article "Notes on the Index: Seventies Art in America", the devotion of the entire April 1975 edition of the German publication Extra to his work, and a spot in documenta VII in Kassel, Germany. read more...
