Investigations: The Expanded Field of Writing in the Works of Robert Morris
Yes, you seem to have been anything but an iconophile in your enterprise which is piled as high with words on one side as with images on the other.
Robert Morris, “Professional Rules”
By investigating the prolific oeuvre of Robert Morris via the prism of writing, this collection of essays provides an incisive lens into the work of a central figure in the visual arts since the 1960s, associated in turn with minimalism, postminimalism, conceptualism, and land art.
Morris has often ...

Robert Morris, “Professional Rules”
By investigating the prolific oeuvre of Robert Morris via the prism of writing, this collection of essays provides an incisive lens into the work of a central figure in the visual arts since the 1960s, associated in turn with minimalism, postminimalism, conceptualism, and land art.
Morris has often been labeled a theorist, although his writing mobilizes a wide variety of genres. He has espoused the style of art criticism, the verve of the polemic, as well as the forms of prose fiction and autobiography. But beyond his writerly craft, he has incorporated text into prints, sculptures, performances, installations, weaving a tight net between text and visual practice. This book brings together contributions from art historians, literary scholars, philosophers, filmmakers, and writers to shed light on an important yet overlooked aspect of Morris’ work.

Robert Morris, « Professional Rules »
Cette collection d’articles parcourt l’œuvre de Robert Morris à travers le prisme de l'écriture, offrant ainsi une nouvelle lecture d’une œuvre centrale des arts plastiques depuis les années soixante, tour à tour associée avec le minimalisme, le conceptualisme ou encore le land art.
Bien que Morris soit souvent taxé de théoricien, son œuvre écrite mobilise une importante variété de genres, de la critique d’art à la fiction et à l'autobiographie. Hormis cette pratique de la langue, l'écrit inséré dans ses estampes, ses sculptures, ses performances ou encore ses installations tisse un réseau serré entre texte et œuvre plastique. Ce livre rassemble des contributions d'historiens d'art, de chercheurs en lettres, de philosophes, mais aussi de cinéastes et d'écrivains.
