Actual Art is a genre of art that was first named by critic Alfred Frankenstein of the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' in a review of Helene Aylon’s work. The name was chosen because the art was "real", but the term "Realism" was already in use to describe a different genre.〔(Alfred. San Francisco Chronicle, "NY, Helene Aylon" September 28, 1975 )〕 Frankenstein described Aylon's work as a genre of art that involves “the self-conscious enlistment of the forces of nature, by artists, toward the completion of their art”.〔 Collaboration with nature necessarily brings the dimension of time into as an integral component of the artworks, with some requiring many thousands of years for their completion. The artists consider the future of the work to be as important as its present, relinquishing control over the work to nature.〔"Fugate-Wilcox's deliberate yielding to the forces over which he has no control measures his awareness of the power of nature." Jonathon Goodman, ''Art in America'' (Dec. 2000).〕 ==History== In 1982, the Actual Art Foundation formed in the Tribeca district of New York City to promote exclusively artists working in the Actual Art genre, and in 1985, obtained its 501-C3 not-for-profit tax-exempt status to fund exhibitions of Actual Art and projects proposed by Actual Artists. The most notable early exhibitions sponsored by the Actual Art Foundation were: * "It's About Time" at the New York City Gallery in 1983 * "Time Will Tell" at Squibb International, Princeton, NJ in 1984 * "Slow Kinetic Art" at the Wadsworth Athenium, Hartfortd, CT * "Time Waits..." co-sponsored with Johannes, 11th Prince of Thurn and Taxis and his wife Gloria at Schloss St. Emmeram in Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. The "Time Will Tell" exhibit was documented in articles appearing in the ''New York Times'', the ''Bergen County Record'', the ''Princeton Packet'', and the ''Trentonian''.〔Lou Cook, "Actual Exhibit at Squibb", ''Trentonian'', June 4, 1985〕 The headquarters of Actual Art Foundation was also used for an episode of Law & Order circa 1990, featuring Actual Art. Actual Art Foundation lost its Tribeca headquarters in the attacks of 9/11 and created an Art Center at Candlewood Lake in Connecticut〔(www.actvalartfovndation.blogspot.com )〕 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「Actual Art」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
