P.S.1 Director Alanna Heiss in a gentle and ever-spiraling conversation during the Biennale with British painter, sculptor, conceptual artist, performance artist, video artist and filmmaker John Latham (born 1921 in Rhodesia). Latham is represented in a collateral project for the 2005 Biennale by the installation, God is Great.

Since the 1940s, John Latham has initiated a wide range of art movements beginning with a least-mark approach to form. This led to a shift, from conventional spatial thinking to an event based frame of reference since called assemblage, performance, structural film and video, installation, and the idea of context as half the work -- from the Mattress Factory site.
