Christine Kozlov (born New York, NY, 1945-died London, United Kingdom, 2005 ), was an American conceptual artist.
career
She attended the School of Visual Arts in NYC until 1967. She met Joseph Kosuth when they were both students there.
Work
Kozlov was a key figure in the New York Conceptual art scene centering around the Lannis Gallery located at 315 E 12th St near 2nd Ave in New York's East Village. She participated in a number of exhibitions in the sixties and early 1970s before falling away. He work has seen a bit of revival since her death in 2005.
Her first pieces responded to questions of sound, memory and information. "Information, No Theory" consisted of a reel-to-reel recorder with an infinite tape loop and a microphone recording ambient noise from the room. It would record and then erase the traces of what was just recorded. It was recently restaged [here | http://vimeo.com/80166473]
She and Joseph Kosuth started the Museum of Normal Art out of the Lannis Gallery. For a brief moment it featured many of the artists associated with Conceptualism
She was a member of the Art and Language Group starting in 1971
"Kozlov was a member of Provisional Art and Language, worked in 1974 on the Corrected Slogans (Art and Language and the Red Crayola LP), on Zoran Popovic’s A Struggle in New York in 1976 and on the Music-Language video in the same year. What back then was perceived as egalitarian in the joint, collective ambitions of the group seems today to be to the disadvantage of the women, whose share in the work barely received critical notice. For example, to take just one instance, the three women involved in A Struggle in New York, Paula Ramsden, Kathryn Bigelow and Christine Kozlov, are given only a marginal mention in Charles Harrison’s Essays on Art and Language."
