UbuWeb
UbuWeb is a collaboratively curated website which includes thousands of historic and contemporary avant-garde texts, sound recordings, moving images and related curatorial and analytic commentary. Founded in 1996 by poet Kenneth Goldsmith, it has grown to be a vast educational resource, providing online access to an obscure yet vital aspect of the cultural record that would be, in many cases, otherwise lost.
The Western Round Table on Modern Art, Proceedings
The Western Round Table on Modern Art met in San Francisco, April 8, 9 and 10, 1949. The object of the Round Table was to bring a representation of the best informed opinion of the time to bear on questions about art today (1949). A set of neat conclusions, as to the outcome of the conference, was neither expected nor desired. Rather, it was hoped that progress would be made in the exposure of hidden assumptions, in the uprooting of obsolete ideas, and in the framing of new questions. Participants included Gregory Bateson, Kenneth Burke, Marcel Duchamp, Darius Milhaud, Arnold Schoenburg and Frank Lloyd Wright. Site hosted by UbuWeb.
