PRESENTATION OF RECENT WORKS BY MARK BOYLE

Bristol: Bristol Arts Centre, 1966
30 x 11cm, 4pp. White glossy card. Exhibition catalogue for this representation of recent works by Boyle including  "Suddenly last summer" where after a pre-arranged dinner all the guest were ushered into a different room and a series of random films and sequences were projected onto a variety of different surfaces including a naked woman; once the  "show" was over they returned to the front room to find all the furniture and other objects in the room has been take away to leave only blank, flat surfaces. The front cover of this catalogue reproduces the various projections on the girl. Eleven surface of the earth works are also listed as well as a  Son et Lumiere for bodily fluids and functions. On the rear over one of the Shepherds Bush Studies is reproduced along with a photograph of the artist. There is also a short critical text in Engish. Very good, scarce document from the artist's more conceptual period and a time when many of their works were related to the Happening movement (Hill famously appearing nude as part of a Kaprow intervention at the 1963 Edinburgh Fringe Festival (high up on a balcony) during a discussion about the avant garde chaired by Kenneth Tynan: the press went mad fuelled by the frisson of an attractive woman without clothes, Tynan was apparently prudish about it in his later comments; which is amusing to anyone who knows the latter's own claim to fame in the UK as the person who first used the F word on British TV and a later producer of Oh! Calcutta!
