On looking at looking
Ann Stephen's biography of Ian Burn, launched in Melbourne recently. Ann also co-ordinated, along with Luke Parker, a series of page works for an online publication, Natural Selection Magazine, in response to the statement by Ian Burn -
“What is held up as originality is a myth, given the degree to
which art evolves as a collective enterprise, with artists always
building on other artists’ work... To talk to other artists’ work,
and simultaneously to talk about the other artists’ work...
Isn’t that what constitutes originality anyway?”
— Ian Burn in conversation with Imants Tillers 1993
The page works can be found in section 25/ page 84 of the magazine.
