El (Elizar or Lazar or Eliezer) Marcovich Lissitzky was a designer, typographer, artist, photographer, architect, and teacher (among other jobs). He had a great influence on the design work from the Bauhaus and De Stijl movements, and on modern commercial art and design.

Camden Arts Centre - Wallace Berman
26 September 2008 - 23 November 2008 This is the first retrospective exhibition of American artist Wallace Berman (1926 – 1976), considered by many to be the ‘father’ of Californian assemblage. He was hugely influential on a group of artists and poets to emerge from the legacy of the Beat generation in the late 1950s and 1960s.
Bernd and Hilla Becher: Landscape/Typology
The German artists Bernd and Hilla Becher, who began working together in 1959 and married in 1961, are best known for their "typologies"—grids of black-and-white photographs of variant examples of a single type of industrial structure.
By the time, in the early 1970s, that Keith Arnatt stopped calling himself an artist and allowed that photography had more than a documentary relation to his practice, he had already established the act of vanishing as key to his modest and absurd twist on Conceptual tropes. In his ‘Earth Plug’ series (1967–8) he excised tidy chunks of turf, lined them with fibreglass and slotted them neatly back in the ground. In ‘Self Burial (Television Interference Project)’ (1969) he was photographed nine times as he apparently sank, feet first and stony-faced, into the earth.
