Global Art • 1970 • I
In Milan, the New Realists put on a series of events to celebrate their tenth anniversary, with an exhibition, The New Realists 1960/1970, a series of action-spectacles in the city and a funeral banquet for which Spoerri has made for each member of the group an edible representation of their work.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
