Artists
Jimbo Blachly & Lytle Shaw
Born 1961. Lives & Works in United States.
At Grizedale
Jim and Lytle have collaborated for several years on the
publication 'The Chadwick Family Papers: A Brief Public
Glimpse', archiving and compiling the histories of a fictional
English family and their heritage.
For Romantic Detachment they performed Errant Walker, a
Euro-centric tour of the architectural wonders of New York, ending
in a spectacular and hilarious dance. It was a piss take of English
pretension and foppishness, and very funny for it. Jimbo had a
minor altercation with Jesse Rae later the same night; some comment
about his sword, which didn’t go down well.
Elsewhere, Lytle is a poet and critic and was co-founder and
editor of the literary journal Shark (copies in the "http://www.lawsonpark.org/library/search?q=shark&action=Go">Lawson
Park library), and is a contributing editor at Cabinet magazine
(also in the "http://www.lawsonpark.org/library/search?q=cabinet&action=Go">library).
He has published catalogue essays on Robert Smithson and Zoe
Leonard for Dia Foundation; on Gerard Byrne for Koenig Books, and
on The Royal Art Lodge for the Drawing Center.
