Focus at Infinity is the catalogue of the first major institutional
exhibition of the New York artist Rosemarie Castoro (1939-2015)
focused on the period 1964-79. The publication draws together an
extensive selection of images concerning her paintings, sculptures,
drawings, language and performances, and confirms the standing of
an artist who, like so many other women artists, has not received
the attention she deserves. The exhibition shows her work in detail
for the first time, revealing the diversity of her practice, which
encompassed abstract painting, conceptual works, performative
actions in the street and studio, poetry, mail art, sculpture,
installation and land art. It explores the context of her work, her
activism including her role in the Art Workers' Coalition, her
association with contemporaries such as Carl Andre, Hollis
Frampton, Sol LeWitt and Yvonne Rainer among others, and her
relation to feminism. The exhibition will consider Castoro's unique
contribution to `intermedia', interrelating painting, sculpture,
drawing, language and performance. It will address how key
contributors to Minimalism have yet to be given due attention,
particularly the coterie of woman artists in a movement that is
often erroneously identified as essentially masculine, who, as
Lippard said, `subverted minimalism on its own turf'. As a result
of a consideration of Castoro's work, the exhibition will emphasise
the need to rethink Minimalism, expanding it to include a greater
range of artists and to question its accepted tenets
