Issue Seventeen, 2007
Control Magazine has always been a forum for artists to discuss their practice as a catalyst for the progression of ideas and in his editorial for Issue Seventeen, Control Magazine’s editor, Stephen Willats explains the rationale behind the new issue as asking a diverse group of artists to explain an aspect of their practice that looks at its social function, meaning and its expression of counter consciousness to the main stream determinism of the contemporary culture of society’s institutions.
In 2003, Control Magazine presented a two-day seminar, Art Intervention, at Vilma Gold gallery in London, bringing together a group of artists to look at the future of art practice and the development of approaches to meaningful ways of operating that related the artist to the social setting. This seminar formed the basis of Control Magazine Issue Seventeen.
