John Latham (b. Zambia 1921)
John Latham is a conceptual artist who uses a wide range of media in his work, he was an early user of the 'atomising paint instrument' (spray-paint can) in particular. He wed fellow artist and collaborator Barbara Steveni in 1951 and together they devised the idea of 'flat-time', based on the theoretical physics of event-structure.
By the 1960's Latham had begun tearing up books to create collage material for his work, as in his 1960 piece Film Star. During 1966 in collaboration with DIAS (the destruction-in-art-symposium, established by Gustav Metzkah) he contructed three large towers of 'skoobs' named 'the laws of England', setting fire to them on the pavement in London.
