Edited by Survey curator Chris Hill, REWIND included her introductory essay and interviews with artists, as well as writings about video preservation by Consulting Editor Deirdre Boyle and Contributing Editor Maria Troy. In addition, the original REWIND included an extensive Resources section that detailed information on institutions and organizations of particular relevance to those interested in early video art, artist biographies, artist videographies and an extensive bibliography. On the occasion of the relaunch of Survey as a DVD box set in 2008, we have extensively re-edited REWIND. While some information contained in the writings is now outdated, we have republished them here mostly in their original form because of their growing historical interest, as well as the insight they offer into the state of the media arts field in the early nineties. We have comprehensively updated the Resource Guide to Early Video by utilizing the many sources of information on early video now available on the Internet. The sections detailing artist Biographies and Videographies contain information up to 1980; recent updates can be found on the www.vdb.org website. The Bibliography section has been reprinted in its totality with the knowledge that many of the books, articles and interviews cited are now available on the Internet in addition to the original publications listed here. We would like to thank the original editors for their enthusiasm and assistance in the task of re-editing REWIND.

    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

Courtesy of the artist and Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New By the late 1960s, the United States was in pitched conflict both in Vietnam, against a foreign power, and at home—between Americans for and against the war, for and against the status quo. Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965–1975 presents art created amid this turmoil, spanning the period from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s fateful https://www.e-flux.com/announcements/244630/artists-respond-american-art-and-the-vietnam-war-1965-1975/ decision to deploy U.S. ground troops to South Vietnam in 1965 to the fall of Saigon ten years later. The first national museum exhibition to examine the contemporary impact of the Vietnam War on American art, Artists Respond brings together nearly 100 works by 58 of the most visionary and provocative artists of the period. Galvanized by the moral urgency of the Vietnam War, these artists reimagined the goals and uses of art, affecting developments in multiple movements and media: painting, sculpture, printmaking, performance, installation, documentary art, and conceptualism.

  • State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970 from Acclaimed “Pacific Standard Time” Exhibition Series Comes to the Bronx Museum of the Arts
    State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970 from Acclaimed “Pacific Standard Time” Exhibition Series Comes to The Bronx Museum of the Arts Museum is Only East Coast Venue to Present Exhibition Illustrating Broad Impact “California Conceptualism” Continues to Have on Contemporary Art Bronx, NY, April 11, 2013 – This June, The Bronx Museum of the Arts will become the only East Coast venue to present State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970, an exhibition which explores the emergence of conceptual art in California in the 1960s and 70s. The exhibition was developed as part of the Getty Foundation’s collaborative exhibition series, “Pacific Standard Time,” and will feature 150 works by 60 artists in a range of media. Each of the artists featured in the exhibition—including Chris Burden, Lynn Hershman, Linda Mary Montano, Martha Rosler, Allen Ruppersberg, and Ed Ruscha—played a seminal role in the emergence of “California Conceptualism.” Marked by its radical forms and ideas, the new art movement permeated the country in the 60s and 70s and has continued to influence artists since its inception. Works in the exhibition exemplify the unrestricted style of the era, when art was produced for alternative audiences and outside of artists’ studios—in the streets, at artist-run galleries, and in other non-traditional spaces. State of Mind features video, film, photography, installation, artist's books, drawings, and extensive performance documentation and ephemera. The exhibition’s tour is organized by Independent Curators International (ICI) and will be on view at The Bronx Museum from June 22 – September 8, 2013.

  • WHAT TOOK SO LONG? Diasporic Identity and Artistic Agency
    WHAT TOOK SO LONG? Diasporic Identity and Artistic Agency Karen Frostig Associate Professor, Lesley University Visiting Scholar, Women’s Studies Research Center, Brandeis University While theorists name a variety of starting points for postmodernism, most agree that the Holocaust represented the failure of the modernist enterprise with its problematic tie to ideas about progress.1 Within the art world, a different trajectory emerges. Many feminist artists and art historians assert that second-wave feminist artists of the 1970’s were largely responsible for the beginnings of the postmodernist art movement.2 Several feminist artists such as Eva Hesse, Judy Chicago, Eleanor Antin, Mierle Ukeles, Martha Rosler, Hannah Wilke, Joyce Kozloff, Miriam Schapiro, Joan Snyder, Linda Nochlin and Nancy Spero emerged as leaders within the second wave feminist art movement. Although these artists were identified as secular artists,3 upon closer examination, many bore either a direct connection to or cultural affiliation with the legacies of the Holocaust.4 From this context, I argue that ideas about rupture, which define postmodernism may, in fact, be wedded to ideas about continuity, expressed by a generation whose very identity is predicated on familial memories of rupture and dislocation. Thus, ideas about rupture are likely to conceal a more nuanced set of attachments to notions of continuity, which is then expressed as a persistent preoccupation with concerns about rupture that define Jewish identity in the 20st century. The essay draws an analogy between the presence of rupture and continuity as an organizing force in second-wave and third-wave feminisms,5 with its presence in my own precarious development as an artist and later as a third-wave feminist artist.

  • 'State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970' at the Bronx Museum Of
    ‘State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970’ at the Bronx Museum of the Arts MAIKA POLLACK In the late 1960s and early 1970s, California was a contemporary-art backwater. Without a strong gallery system, work wasn’t likely to sell, and fine art existed in Hollywood’s shadow. Art professors and MFA students are always underdogs compared with the entertainment industry, but those on the West Coast—“snotty surfer upstarts,” as one artist put it—were considered even more so, by dint of the fact that they weren’t in New York. The best works in this exhibition curated by Constance Lewallen and Karen Moss take advantage of that outsider position, making use of art’s ability to conjure or invent new meanings and contexts. The standout piece is Allen Ruppersberg’s Al’s Grand Hotel (1971). Stationery announces that you can rent rooms in “The grand hotel,” a fictional/real hotel-as-art-project. Life-size http://galleristny.com/2013/07/state-of-mind-new-california-art-circa-1970-at- the-bronx-museum-of-the-arts/ cutouts show the artist as a shirtless cowboy—a kind of counterculture maître-d’—flashing a peace sign. A soundtrack of country songs played by Terry Allen on the opening night of the hotel event (from a 2011 LP) is paired with a guest book. That the whole thing takes place within the framework of art-making complicates the endeavor, blurring the line between doomed business, party, happening and savvy cultural capital- producing endeavor. Installation view. (Photo by David Familian/Bronx Museum of the Arts) Paul Kos, a Bay Area conceptual artist, has perhaps the second-coolest piece, Sound of Ice Melting (1970), with eight boom mikes, cables and speakers, and a Yamaha mixer all hooked up to a puddle of water (which presumably had once been a block of ice).
