Six Moments in 1967 and Some of its Bodies

Overview

Doug Ashford is a New York based artist, teacher and writer whose work considers exhibition, display and other social production as formal models for speculation and reconsideration. For many years, as member of Group Material, he produced exhibitions and public projects that sought to remake the relationship of art to lived political experience. This creative labour has evolved recently into painted models of formal arrangements that propose a diagrammatic remaking of social imagination.
Nothing is ever over. This work attempts at modeling how we can refuse to work or fit, or even to function – while still not losing the beliefs of others.
