A variety of works by video artist Jud Yalkut will be presented at three venues at the University of Dayton Jan. 31 through March 7. Yalkut will attend an opening reception Thursday, Jan. 31, a film discussion Friday and Saturday, Feb. 22-23, and a closing reception Thursday, March 7. See below for details. Titled "Visions and Sur-Realites," the survey of works brings together Yalkut's early works, contemporary films and even a holographic laser display he created with University of Dayton physicists in the 1980s. "Jud Yalkut has been a leading force in Dayton's arts community as well as an arts journalist for more than 20 years," said Jeanne Philipp, visual arts faculty and curator of the exhibits. "The exhibits, the artist's talks and the screened films will engage audiences in video environments, pioneering moving holograms and collage works relating the fine arts to new technologies in engineering, video and optics in works spanning the artist's career of more than 40 years." In the early 1970s, Yalkut moved to Ohio to develop the first film and video program at Wright State University and has since served on the board of several area arts organizations. He now lives in Waynesville, Ohio. His media works have been shown and are in collections at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City; Pompidou Center in Paris; Tate Museum in Liverpool, England; and many other museums and galleries worldwide. He was the recipient of the 2005 Citation for Distinguished Service to the Visual Arts from the Ohioana Library and a Lifetime Achievement Fellowship from the Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District. The exhibits at the University of Dayton will run concurrently at Gallery 249 in the College Park Center, ArtStreet Studio D Gallery and Roesch Library. Gallery 249 Opening reception and artist talk, 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31. Exhibit runs Jan. 31 through March 7: The gallery will feature immersive video environments and collages. The main piece, "Vision Cantos," premiered in 2000 at the Whitney Museum of American Art. It shows images of Tibetan iconography and sentient life on Earth on two screens, Yalkut says. Viewers are www.udayton.edu/news/articles/2013/01/yalkut_visions_and_sur_realities.php 1/2 11/6/13 University of Dayton : News : Visions and Sur-Realities invited to sit on yoga mats on the floor to experience the film. The exhibit will also feature a single-screen work and collages from a series he created in the 1970s. Gallery 249 is located on the second floor of College Park Center at 1529 Brown St. Limited visitor parking is available at College Park Center. During exhibit receptions, a student attendant at the front door of College Park Center will provide each guest with a parking pass. At other times, visitors should obtain a parking pass from the parking attendant located on the University Circle. To reach the second floor, obtain an access card at the front desk on the first floor of College Park Center. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday. For more information, contact Geno Luketic, Gallery 249 coordinator, at 937-229-3261 (url: tel:937-229-3261) or [email protected] (url: mailto:[email protected]) . ArtStreet "Holograms and Movie Machines," Jan. 31 through March 7: The video hologram installation at ArtStreet revisits a pioneering collaboration from 1981 in laser holography between Yalkut and the University of Dayton Research Institute and the physics department. Yalkut pioneered the practice of immersive film and video environments that incorporate the spectator as active participant. The holographic installation at ArtStreet encourages viewer interactivity. Film screenings and panel discussion, 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, and 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23: ArtStreet will host a two-day program of film screenings with an interdisciplinary panel on Feb. 23 presenting a unique opportunity to view rare films that include collaborations with experimental artists USCO, Nam June Paik, Charlotte Moorman, Yayoi Kusama, Trisha Brown, John Cage and many others. An important aspect of Yalkut's film exhibition program is the way the work stresses multidisciplinary interaction in the art forms of music, dance, the visual arts and Fluxus events — experimental "intermedia" of the 1960s and 1970s. (The YouTube video above is a sample of this experimental art). "Audiences will appreciate Yalkut's appropriation and manipulation of pop culture in his early film and video collaborations with renowned media artists," Philipp said. "However, his more recent interactive video installation and single-channel works seek to humanize technologies by including the viewer as a participant in the work. Yalkut's creative uses of technology in pioneering media expression support his proven belief that 'technology is a tool for aesthetic research and not a machine to be feared.' " ArtStreet is located at the intersection of Lawnview Avenue and Kiefaber Street on the University of Dayton campus. ArtStreet is open 8 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday and noon to midnight Saturday and Sunday.

Roesch Library Closing reception 5-7 p.m. Thursday, March 7, and artist talk with Carol Nathanson, professor emeritus in art history at Wright State University. Exhibit of book and collages runs Feb. 4 through March 7, Roesch Library first-floor gallery: The exhibit will feature Yalkut's book Anatomy of the Civil War, as well as literary collages from the 1970s to 2012 published in journals such as The Vincent Brothers Review.

  • Electronic Zen
    ELECTRONIC ZEN: The Alternate Video Generation By Jud Yalkut Copyright, 1984, Jud Yalkut. "The light-flower of heaven and earth fills all the thousand spaces. But also the light-flower of the individual body passes through heaven and covers the earth. Therefore, as soon as the light is circulating, heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, are all circulating with it at the same time. To concentrate the seed-flower of the human body above in the eyes, that is the great key of the human body." - THE SECRET OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER. "Zen Meditation is purely a subjective experience completed by a concentration which holds the inner mind calm, pure and serene. And yet Zen meditation produces a special psychological state based on the changes in the electroencephalogram. Therefore, Zen meditation influences not only the psychic life but also the physiology of the brain." - AKIRA KASAMATSU AND TOMIO HIRAI ("An Electroen- cephalographic Study on the Zen Meditation (Zazen)") in ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS (Charles Tart, editor). "We are not yet aware that telepathy is conveyed through the resonance factors of the mind... The electromagnetic vibration of the head might lead the way to Electronic Zen." - NAM JUNE PAIK. ELECTRONIC ZEN: THE ALTERNATE VIDEO GENERATION PREFACE Although the medium of television has existed in the American home since the post-war period, it has only been since the advent of portable video recorders in the late sixties that a meaningful dissemination of electronics communication technology has permitted the two-way interf low of information and vision exchange. This predominantly half-inch video technology engendered the emergence of alternate video innovators who have gradually mastered the parameters and circuitry of equipment woefully unstable as com pared to the hardware used daily by the vast television broadcasting networks.

  • Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2016
    Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2016 Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage August 15, 2017 Dr. Carla Hayden The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Hayden: In accordance with The Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-336), I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2016 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. Americans have been making films for more than 120 years, but it is only in the last 30 that we have rallied to save those images. In 1996, Congress created the NFPF to help archives, libraries, and museums to rescue this history and share it with the public. Thanks to federal funding secured through the Library of Congress, entertainment industry and foundation support, and the unwaver- ing dedication of preservationists, there is much good news to report. As of 2016, the NFPF programs have preserved more than 2,290 motion pictures—newsreels, actualities, cartoons, silent-era productions, avant-garde films, home movies, and other independent works that might otherwise have faded from public memory. Tremendous credit is due to the 284 public institutions that have participated in our programs to save culturally significant motion pic- tures. Once copied to film stock and safely archived, the works begin a new life through teaching, exhibition, broadcast, DVD, and most especially, the Internet. With international partners, the NFPF has helped archives in the United States bring home 240 early American films that had not been seen in decades.

  • Part Six: Intermedia
    PART SIX: INTERMEDIA "Shall we... use the new art as a vehicle for a new message and express the human longing which light has always symbolized, a longing for greater reality, a cosmic consciousness, a balance between the human entity and the great common denominator, the universal rhythmic flow?" THOMAS WILFRED 345 ARTSCILAB 2001 The Artist as Ecologist For some years now the activity of the artist in our society has been trending more toward the function of the ecologist: one who deals with environmental relationships. Ecology is defined as the totality or pattern of relations between organisms and their environment. Thus the act of creation for the new artist is not so much the invention of new objects as the revelation of previously unrecognized relation- ships between existing phenomena, both physical and metaphysical. So we find that ecology is art in the most fundamental and pragmatic sense, expanding our apprehension of reality. Artists and scientists rearrange the environment to the advantage of society. Moreover, we find that all the arts and sciences have moved along an evolutionary path whose milestones are Form, Structure, and Place. In fact, man's total development as a sentient being can be said to follow from initial concerns with Form or surface appearances, to an examination of the Structure of forms, and finally to a desire to comprehend the totality of relationships between forms, that is, Places. Since it generally is thought that art represents the avant-garde of human insight, it is interesting to note that science itself has evolved through Form, Structure, and Place appreciably in advance of the arts.

  • Heavy Visuals '69: Electronic Cinema and Experimental Film
    heavy visuals ‘69 Electronic Cinema and Experimental Film Selected landmarks of the 1969 avant garde Wednesday, September 23, 2009 Northwest Film Forum Co-presented by The Sprocket Society Seattle, WA All films in this evening’s program were released in 1969. All films are presented in their original 16mm format, with the exception of Le Labyrinthe, which was originally produced in 35mm then reduced to 16mm for limited circulation. Due to archival restrictions, we are not permitted to edit and combine all of the films onto larger reels, though we have done so where possible. This necessitates an unusual number of pauses as we rethread for the next movie. We hope you will forgive the somewhat disruptive viewing experience in the spirit of helping to preserve these rare works for future audiences. 1969/16mm 16mm film played an essential role in the evolution of cinematic art at this time. In the pre-VCR late ‗60s, independent 16mm movies and the cooperatives, loose networks, and freaks that helped distribute them were the YouTube of the time. Many award-winning and extremely influential films and artists were seen exclusively on 16mm, and it was the obvious format of choice for documentarians of every stripe. Please join us for our next 1969/16mm program on Wed., October 14, 2009 at the NW Film Forum – Focal Points: Documentary Shorts of 1969, a schizoid collection of disparate styles and subjects, from the Black Panthers to Pentecostal Christians to the Kuchar Brothers. Our projector this evening is a theatrical-grade Eiki EX-6000, with a new 1,000 watt lamp.

Rather than interpret scores with fidelity to the composers’ intent, she read political or affective content into notation, ignored time brackets, and explored what I will refer to as the meta-histrionics of simultaneously being and being tasked to act like a professional performer.
