Latham used the term ‘incidental person’ to articulate his conception of the artist as ‘a person who stands at some distance from events and who is capable of reflecting upon them critically and reaching insights by means of intuition.’ With a visit to The Warburg Institute to to learn about Aby Warburg’s taxonomies of knowledge and his Bilderatlas Mnemosyne, and a performance workshop on Bob Cobbing and John Latham with long-standing People Show member Gareth Brierley, the project offers a series of disruptions and digressions on the nature of sculpture and its purpose and place in the world.
