Description:Q5110

The Fox was a short-lived critical journal and magazine published in New York in 1975 and 1976 by the American chapter of British conceptual art group Art & Language; only three issues were ever published. Those issues ended up as both the documentation of the internal tensions and struggles within the group and a testament to the political positions, debates and ideas that animated the individuals involved. The Fox was primarily text based and rooted in recent experimental conceptual practices. It also had a highly critical and articulate voice on a number of art- and society-related problems: education, the power of money and value in art, institutions and their functions, and autonomy. As part of the project Re: The Fox, UNIT/PITT and The Everyday Press have produced a limited facsimilé reprint of the three issues of The Fox. In this issue: Sarah Charlesworth, Micheal Baldwin, Philip Pilkington, Joseph Kosuth, Andrew Menard, Zoran Popovic, Jasna Tijardovic, Ian Burn, Adrian Piper, Mel Ramsden, Micheal Corris, David Rushton, Paul Wood, Preston Heller, Lynn Lemaster, Terry Atkinson. Also edited by Andrew Menard and Mel Ramsden. Review consultant: Ian Burn. Copy Editor: Paula Ramsden. Assistance: Nick Holmes, John Short, Oscar Vacilla, Steven Martin.
