        Strategy: Get Arts 35 Artists Who Broke the Rules

        35 Artists Who Broke the Rules

        by Edited by Christian Weikop

        Edited by Dr Christian Weikop, a Professor in Art History at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), this is the first print publication to consider the remarkable formation of the ground-breaking and oft-cited exhibition Strategy: Get Arts, staged at ECA in the late summer of 1970. At the cutting edge of contemporary art, this was unlike anything seen in the United Kingdom to that date, certainly challenging a Scottish art world still struggling to come to terms with the legacy of the Scottish Colourists. It was an exhibition that received international press attention and had a considerable impact on the public, critics, and other curators who saw it, shaking up the conservativism of the British art scene. Strategy: Get Arts (SGA) brought many figures of post-war art, who were based in the exciting cultural city of Düsseldorf, to the United Kingdom for the first time. These artists, who took over ECA, transforming the college into a ‘total work of art’ through their extraordinary actions and installations, were unknown to a British public in 1970. The roll call of talented participants included the likes of Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Blinky Palermo, Daniel Spoerri, Stefan Wewerka, Dieter Roth, Sigmar Polke, Günther Uecker, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and many others who subsequently achieved international fame. In addition to first-hand accounts of the exhibition by Douglas Hall (the first Keeper of the Gallery of Modern Art, National Galleries of Scotland), Jennifer Gough-Cooper (SGA co-ordinator), and Alexander Hamilton (co-editor of Studies in Photography and SGA gallery assistant in 1970), the publication also includes new essays by the editor, Christian Weikop, on Richard Demarco and the Formation of Strategy: Get Arts; Düsseldorf in Edinburgh: The Importance of the Germans; and Strategy Get Arts and Broadcast Media. It also features short essays on the photography of SGA by Karen Barber (a specialist in the history of photography), the controversy concerning the Palermo Restore project by Andrew Patrizio (Professor of Scottish Visual Culture at ECA), the creation of a 2016 archive exhibition on SGA by National Galleries of Scotland archivist Kirstie Meehan, as well as two fascinating Forewords by Keith Hartley (Chief Curator and Deputy Director of Modern and Contemporary Art), and Professor Juan Cruz (Principal of ECA). Many unknown and rare photographs of the artists and artworks at the art college, especially by the German performance artist and photographer, Monika Baumgartl, as well as eye-catching photographs by George Oliver and Richard Demarco, are presented here for the first time. The publication is a triumph of archival detective work, effectively reconstructing the exhibition, profiling all 35 artists who took part, and fully revealing the challenges and dramatic events that unfolded before and during the course of this unique event.

        Us

        by Michele Cocchi

        Tommaso is 16 years old, and hasn’t left the house for 18 months – in fact, he barely leaves his room. He is what psychologists refer to as hikikomori: literally “pulling inward, being confined”. One day, he suddenly abandoned basketball, school, and all his hobbies, and now spends his time watching old NBA matches and playing video games. There is one game in particular which determines the structure of his days, and has become his only means of socialisation. The game is called Us: a multiplayer game where teams of three players carry out 100 challenges per year, one each day. The team that completes the challenge first, while staying united as a group, wins. Tommaso’s avatar, whose head is a skull, is called Logan. His other team members are Rin: a girl who resembles a Japanese manga character, and Hud: a character straight out of a shooter game. These three do not know each other – according to the rules of the game, they are not allowed to discuss their private lives – but they soon become friends. Every day, Us provides them with a “historical” mission. They will fight either for the victims or for the perpetrators – for example, as part of the Colombian FARC, with the German Nazis, or in support of Mandela in South Africa. Every day, they must work out how to reach the end of the mission while surrounded by the horrors of the twentieth century. Every day, they will have someone to save and someone to kill. They will soon discover that history can be brutal, and that it’s not always possible to be the hero.

        El torneo que reconcilió a un continente

        by Miguel L. Pereira

        As Paul Auster once said, football is the miracle that allowed Europe to hate itself without destroying itself. The ball has done more than any other political project for brotherhood in a land too used to fighting with itself. After each conflict, it was necessary for the ball to be there to make the continent a space of union and not a perpetual trench. For this reason, every time the European Championship is held, there is a part of the world that looks into each other's eyes and shakes hands. For this reason, when we write about the 60 years of history of this emblematic tournament, we are really drawing our memories, our fears and our desires as Europeans. Because the dreams of Delaunay, Panenka, Charisteas, Aragonés or Éder are also our dreams.
