Christine Kozlov: Information is the first solo exhibition of the American conceptual artist Christine Kozlov (1945-2005). Before moving to the UK in 1977, she played an active role in the development of conceptual art in New York from 1965. For Kozlov, and her peers, materials were of lesser importance than conceptual meaning. Kozlov’s work featured in a number of landmark exhibitions that defined this period, such as One Month (1969) organised by Seth Siegelaub, Information (1970) curated by Kynaston McShine at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Number Shows, a series of exhibitions organised by Lucy Lippard between 1969 and 1974.
Information draws from Kozlov’s to date unexamined archive to explore how sculpture became redefined during this art historical moment when the idea came to take precedence over the object. Kozlov used materials often associated with gathering information for empirical research, such as graph paper, photographic film and audio tapes, chosen for their utilitarian qualities. Drawing on research into neuroscience, human behaviour and habits, her sculptures range from books to typed paper sheets and musical notations.
