Formed in 1995, "Cv/Visual Arts Research" is a documentary resource of developments in contemporary art. The survey began in April 1988, and was first published as the quarterly review "Cv Journal of Art and Crafts" (later "Cv Journal of the Arts"). Cv was produced until 1992 and the collection of interviews, features and reviews provided the foundation of the "Cv/VAR" archive and subsequent publications. Following "Cv Journal" the data-base shifted towards electronic publishing, allowing a greater flexibility of communication. "Cv/VAR" addresses the fields of academic research, galleries and museums worldwide, and a growing non-specialist readership. In this respect the archive has been re-organised as a file system, which may be accessed as individual articles or collated volumes, according to specific requirements. The programme is categorized as: Interviews with the Artists (files 1-8); Curators and Collections (files 9/10); Crafts Directory (files 11/12); Small Histories (files 13/14); Guide to the Arts (files 15/16); Art, Criticism and Display (files 17/18); and an open area for current developments (files 19/20). This book features an interview with American artist James Turrell recorded at Michael Hue William in June 1996. It also explores work with light and major projects such as "The Roden Crater" environmental sculpture.
