Harold Cohen: New Paintings
Past exhibition
-
-
Harold Cohen acquired a major reputation in the 1960s as a painter and leading figure in the new London scene and represented the UK at the 1966 Venice Biennale, documenta 5, and in museum shows throughout the world. In 1968, he moved to California, where he served as professor and then as chair in the newly formed visual arts department of the University of California, San Diego. There, he turned his attention to computing and quickly built a second reputation as a pioneer in the application of computing to the arts.
One of the very few artists ever to explore the new science of artificial intelligence for his own art-making purposes, Cohen developed his now-celebrated AARON programme, and, before most of his public knew what computers were, it was exhibited at prestigious venues on both sides of the Atlantic: the Tate Gallery, the Brooklyn Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, documenta 6, and many other international locations.
