The
Western Round Table on Modern Art now on UbuWeb!
Participants included Marcel Duchamp, Frank Lloyd Wright, Arnold
Schoenburg, Mark Tobey, Darius Milhaud, Alfred Frankenstein, Gregory Bateson,
Kenneth Burke, Robert Goldwater and Andrew C. Richie. Documentation includes
over 9 hours of audio tape, transcriptions and photographs. Organizer
Douglas MacAgy writes, "The object of the Round Table was to bring
a representation of the best informed opinion of the time to bear on questions
about art today (1949). A set of neat conclusions, as to the outcome of
the conference, was neither expected nor desired. Rather, it was hoped
that progress would be made in the exposure of hidden assumptions, in
the uprooting of obsolete ideas, and in the framing of new questions."
