John Latham (1921-2006) was a British conceptual artist whose interdisciplinary work incorporated painting, sculpture, installations, interventions, and film. He sought to develop a unified philosophy integrating diverse fields to eliminate human conflict. His work utilized books and language to question established frameworks of knowledge. Notable works included spray painting, 'Skoob Burning' book burnings, and the participatory event 'Still and Chew' where students chewed pages from a book. Latham's 'Event Structure' theory proposed reality was composed of discrete 'least events' rather than particles. He created films like 'Erth' and the series 'God is Great' which shattered symbols of religious texts to represent the ambiguity at the root
