Art as property has not only persisted in our culture but has been celebrated and projected as a\u2028dominate emulative icon. What cannot be ignored at the time of producing CONTROL Magazine, Issue Eighteen, is the sudden collapse of the financial markets that supported an inflated bubble. A bubble, which fostered the art object as financial investment.\u2028\u2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue presents texts by artists that offer a vision, a way forward which connects with people, to externalise their work into the real world today.

It has included contributions and original pieces from an extensive range of artists over its eighteen issues. Since 1965, the magazine has published work and writing by over 150 artists, including John Latham, Roy Ascot, Anthony Benjamin, Dan Graham, Mary Kelly, Helen Chadwick, Tony Cragg, Dennis Adams, Lawrence Weiner, Anish Kapoor, Martha Rosler, Jeremy Deller, alongside collectives and collaboratives such as Gallerie in Friedrichstrasse, Artists Placement Group and early producer’s galleries such as that of Dieter Hacker. Many of the artists have made artwork specially for the magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTROL Magazine’s function has always been to provide a resource for artists to discuss their work and, in particular, to make connections with other disciplines such as social or computer sciences, technology etc. Its eighteen issues provide a unique record of a specific area of art practice over four decades and this non-profit making publication has had an acknowledged influence on the practice of artists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Control Magazine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47312201220354,"sku":"BK-CON-ISEI-001-S","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_8066.jpg?v=1770051803","url":"https:\/\/www.booksaboutart.co.uk\/products\/control-issue-eighteen","provider":"Books About Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
