Art in Ruins was formed in 1984 as a collaborative interventionist practice in art and architecture, staging exhibitions, and publishing texts, by artists Hannah Vowles and Glyn Banks.〔Coles, Alex. "Appearances are Against Us", ''Art and Text'', Los Angeles, July 2000.〕 ==History and practice== (Art in Ruins ), based in Bloomsbury, London, utilizes 1960s conceptual art strategies popularized by Art & Language and Gilbert and George.〔 Works include ''Trust Us'' (1997) and ''We Like You'' (1995).〔 Their reaction to current art is "iconoclastic"〔Corris, Michael. ''Artforum'', New York, September 1991.〕 with "a sort of supersensitivity to the politics of art."〔Beech, Dave. ''Art Monthly'', London, July/August 1998.〕 They curated the exhibition "Our Wonderful Culture" (St George's Crypt, Bloomsbury 1995) and collaborated with Stewart Home, Ed Baxter, and others on "Ruins of Glamour, Glamour of Ruins" (Chisenhale Gallery 1986) and "Desire in Ruins" (Transmission Gallery, Glasgow 1987). Since the early 1990s, they have been satirising self-expression and focusing on art's economic basis.〔Jones, Jonathan. ''The Guardian'', London, 15 December 1999.〕 Art in Ruins "may be a group, but they are first and foremost a demolition squad whose target is the last vestiges of value........more than a name," Art in Ruins "is a whole programme."〔Perrin, Frank.''European Guerillas'' "Kanal" No 2, April/May 1992〕 Their work has been exhibited in major cities throughout Europe. They have been on the faculty of the Art and Architecture program at the Kent Institute of Art & Design, and with the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. In 1991 Art in Ruins were awarded the DAAD Berliner Kunstlerprogramm Stipendium.〔 pp 56-60.〕 Art in Ruins has been in limbo since 2001. This 'silence' is the subject of an artist's project and it has also been the subject of two editions of "Wavelength" arts programme on Resonance FM. Their website is at (Art in Ruins ) Art in Ruins themselves have said "... it may be that it is our extremely visible failure to be indexed in the recent history of the dominant culture that is our greatest success." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Art in Ruins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
