About the book
During the 1960s, the art world?s interest in systems grew quite conspicuously. It ran parallel to the social upheavals and the fundamentally critical view of the system by the?68 movement. Rather more consequential, from today?s point of view, were the technological advances. The development of cybernetics, communication networks and computer systems facilitated extensive networks as well as powerful data processing and turned the exchange of information into an important social and economic factor. The exhibition and this publication consider art of the 1960s and early 1970s with regard to systems thinking, and conceive it as communication and as a critique of the system. It is above all the works of Minimal Art and Conceptual Art that dealt with the principles of linguistic communication systems and thereby with differentiations and repetitions. Further significant features included semiotics, serialism, regularity and the contextualization of the architectural and institutional environment. 00Exhibition: Bündner Kunstmuseum, Chur, Switzerland (30.06.-11.11.2018).
