{"title":"Robert Barry","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Barry (b. 1936) is an American conceptual artist whose practice has explored the limits of the visible, the knowable, and the communicable since the late 1960s. Associated with the first generation of conceptual art in New York, Barry produced works using inert gases released into the atmosphere, carrier waves, radiation, and telepathic communications — works that exist at or beyond the threshold of perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis contributions to Seth Siegelaub's landmark exhibitions and publications, including the \u003cem\u003eJanuary 5–31, 1969\u003c\/em\u003e exhibition and the \u003cem\u003eXerox Book\u003c\/em\u003e (1968), were central to the development of dematerialised practice. Barry's work consistently tests what can constitute an artwork when the object is absent, invisible, or known only through declaration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublications gathered here include exhibition catalogues and printed matter relating to Robert Barry's practice.

A certificate authorizes an object, replaces an object, transfers an object, or becomes the object. Authorship and ownership appear through paper, signature, instruction, edition, and record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, the publication enters a related chain. It documents certificates while becoming another document of transfer: retained, priced, described, and placed back into circulation.
