Pamela M. Lee

Some Kinds of Duration

Written on the occasion of the L.A. MoCA exhibition, "Afterimage", "Some Kinds of Duration" explores the formative value of drawing for the practices of 1960s art making generally known as "Process Art." Considering the drawings of Richard Serra, Robert Morris and William Anastasi, among others, the essay extends its analysis from the work of the period to consider the relationship between drawing and temporality more generally.

Pamela M. Lee is Associate Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University. She is the author of Object to be Destroyed: The Work of Gordon Matta-Clark (2000) and Chronophobia: On Time in the Art of the 1960s (2004) both from the MIT Press. She is currently working on Forgetting the Art World: Globalization and Contemporary Art.
