MIND: THE GAP (2002-03-15) Author: Kenneth Baker Document Available Conference on Marjorie Welish Series Curated by Aaron Levy, Jean-Michel Rabaté Published by Slought Foundation (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

The word "respondent" in conferences usually means "in response to others' papers" given live although written in advance. By "pre-respondent" we mean something different: a paper in response to work by Marjorie Welish--not work by others--not to be read in public as a free-standing paper yet circulated to the other conference participants in advance. These papers are published online, and subsequently in book format with the papers given live.

Kenneth Baker, a native New Englander, has been art critic for The San Francisco Chronicle since 1985, and was a contributing editor for Artforum from 1985 to 1992. He continues to write occasionally for other publications, including The Art Newspaper, Smithsonian Magazine and Art News. Baker is the author of "Minimalism: Art of Circumstance"(Abbeville 1989/1997) and has just completed a monograph on Walter De Maria's "The Lightning Field" for the University of California Press. He has taught and lectured at colleges around the country, including Brown, Stanford and Ohio State Universities.
