    THE ARTIST’S VOICE SINCE 1981 BOMBSITE Peter Campus by John Hanhardt BOMB 68/Summer 1999, ART Peter Campus. Shadow Projection, 1974, video installation. Courtesy Paula Cooper Gallery. My visit with Peter Campus was partially motivated by my desire to see his new work, a set of videotapes entitled Video Ergo Sum that includes Dreams, Steps and Karneval und Jude. These new works proved to be an extraordinary extension of Peter’s earlier engagement with video and marked his renewed commitment to the medium. Along with Vito Acconci, Dara Birnbaum, Gary Hill, Joan Jonas, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, Steina and Woody Vasulka, and Bill Viola, Peter is one of the central artists in the history of the transformation of video into an art form. He holds a distinctive place in contemporary American art through a body of work distinguished by its articulation of a sophisticated poetics of image making dialectically linked to an incisive and subtle exploration of the properties of different media—videotape, video installations, photography, photographic slide installations and digital photography. The video installations and videotapes he created between 1971 and 1978 considered the fashioning of the self through the artist’s and spectator’s relationship to image making. Campus’s investigations into the apparatus of the video system and the relationship of the 1 of 16 camera to the space it occupied were elaborated in a series of installations. In mem [1975], the artist turned the camera onto the body of the specator and then projected the resulting image at an angle onto the gallery wall.

Barely edited, a characteristic Nauman tape from the late '60s shows the artist laconically following some absurd set of directions for an extended amount of time within the vague purview of a video camera mounted at a seemingly random angle in relation to the action. Slow Angle Walk is a classic of the genre, reflecting the artist's interest in Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, whose characters announce, "Let's go!" while the stage directions read, "No one moves."

  • We Let the Quiet out from Below Its Curtain
    Seattle City Council Public Safety, Government Relations, and Arts Committee Meeting Tuesday, 2:00 PM, August 15, 2006 Words’ Worth The Poetry Program of the Seattle City Council Curated by Jeannette Allée Today’s poet is Gary Hill Gary Hill was born in Santa Monica, CA and currently lives in Seattle. Originally a sculptor, Hill began working with sound, text, and video in the early 1970’s and has produced a large body of both single-channel video works and mixed-media installations. His video, installation and performance work has been presented at museums and institutions throughout the world, including solo exhibitions at the Musée national d'art moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Guggenheim Museum SoHo, NY; Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Öffentliche Kunstsammlung, Basel; Museu d’Art Contemporani, Barcelona; and Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, among others. Hill has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Rockefeller and Guggenheim Foundations, and has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors, most notably the Leone d’Oro Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale in 1995 and a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation “Genuis” Grant in 1998. Site Recite (a prologue) by Gary Hill Nothing seems to have ever been moved. There is something of every description which can only be a trap. Maybe it all moves proportionately cancelling out change and the estrangement of judgement. No, an other order pervades. It's happening all at once, I'm just a disturbance wrapped up in myself, a kind of ghost vampirically passing through the forest passing through the trees.

  • Gary Hill | Toward Common Cause
    Gary Hill Gary Hill, SELF ( ), 2016, Mixed media. Courtesy bitforms gallery, New York. A narrow room in a gallery with an artwork installation. The gallery has white walls and concrete floors. The art installation included in the image comprises of three white acrylic units mounted to the wall. Each unit has a lens protruding out from the center. An electrical cord dangles from each and these are gathered along the wall to an outlet. Each of the units are in different geometric shapes – a square, triangle, and circle. Gary Hill was one of the first artists to use video technology to do something other than straight recording, and he continues to be an innovator today. During his forty-plus-year career, he has moved well beyond the narrow confines of video into experimental interactive technologies. All of his explorations of myriad novel electronic media, however diverse, are deployed as means to investigate the relationship between mind and body, perception and cognition, language and consciousness. Hill’s earliest work, made in the late 1960s, was metal sculpture. Fascinated more by the sounds the metal could produce than by its appearance, he began to extend his practice to electronic sound, sound synthesizers, video cameras, and eventually to interactive installations. He deconstructed his works as he made them, both literally and figuratively: literally, because we can see wires, cathode tubes, the guts of technology; and figuratively, because he relentlessly probes the tenuous and glitchy nature of the self. In a 2009 interview, Hill said that, in retrospect, he was surprised how often his use of the video camera has nothing to do with looking through the eyepiece.

  • Video Installation, Gary Hill: Tall Ships Opens Sept. 26 in the University Art Gallery at UCSD
    Video installation, Gary Hill: Tall ships opens Sept. 26 in the University Art Gallery at UCSD September 8, 1997 Media Contact: Kathleen Stoughton, University Art Gallery, (619) 534-0419, or [email protected], or Jan Jennings, (619) 822-1684, or jnjenningsgucsd.edu VIDEO INSTALLATION, GARY HILL: TALL SHIPS OPENS SEPT. 26 IN THE UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY AT UCSD Gary Hill: Tall Ships, an interactive projective video installation, will be on view Sept. 26 through Dec. 13 in the University Art Gallery at the University of California, San Diego. A reception for the artist, open to the public, will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Sept. 25. The installation consists of a 60-foot long corridor which is completely dark. The movement of a viewer through the corridor triggers the emergence of projected images of people of varying ages, gender and ethnic origin on the walls of the corridor. The light from the projected videos provides a minimal light in the installation space and creates silhouettes of other viewers in the space. "You begin to see the shapes and shadows and light cast by the figures onto people's faces," says Hill. "It's very subtle, but the viewers begin to mix with the projections." For Hill, the choreography of dark space, visions, and silence creates a meditative space for the viewer to interact with the images (both video and reap to connect with them or to feel isolated. Hill's idea is to compel the viewer to explore his or her responses to others. Hill says the title for the installation was inspired by an old photograph taken in Seattle around 1930 of a tall ship: "I associated those huge masts and full sails with people standing...the thought of that kind of ship on the high seas that frontal view of extreme verticality coming towards you.

  • Gary Hill January 13 Through February 10, 2007
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Gary Hill January 13 through February 10, 2007 Gladstone Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Gary Hill, in which he masterfully incorporates aspects of installation, sound, and imagery to create poetic and thought-provoking pieces teasing out the nuances of communicative interactions. His continued investigations into the intersection between representation and language have created a body of video installations that question and reinterpret the cognitive processes that create meaning. For this exhibition, Hill will present two new works commissioned and previously shown by the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris. Their New York debut will mark Gary Hill’s fourth show at Gladstone Gallery. Representations of the body factor heavily into Hill’s weighty investigations, which incorporate extrapolations of social roles in order to examine the current political climate. In a recent piece Guilt, Hill has created gold coins minted with his own portrait, undergoing fictive scenes of torture. Viewed from afar through telescopes, recognizing the artist’s face on these miniatures at once brings the impact of humiliation into the viewer’s frame of mind, highlighting, through its installation, the uneasiness of the dominate/subordinate dialectical posture so often assumed in everyday life. Hill queries the existence of a stance of viewership in which the dominant position does not come into play. In light of the images of Abu Ghraib having been seared into the common memory, what does the telescopic view of suffering achieve, if only to vouchsafe a position of domination within communicative forms? Hill’s installation, through its use of the metaphor of market exchange, distances the true impact of brutality, even when the acts of surveillance bring it so close to the viewer’s body.

  • Gary Hill's Suspension of Disbelief (For Marine
    Presented at the Electronic Media Group Session, AIC 35th Annual Meeting May 15–20, 2009, Los Angeles, CA. GARY HILL’S SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF (FOR MARINE): DOCUMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR TIME-BASED MEDIA. PART II. JEFF MARTIN INTRODUCTION Gary Hill’s (b. 1951) Suspension of Disbelief (for Marine) (1991–1992), four- channel video installation, 30 x 836 x 23 cm, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C, acc. no. 05.5, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California, acc. no. 2004.78.A-K, was installed at the Hirshhorn Museum as one of 19 works in the exhibition The Cinema Effect: Dreams, from February 14 to May 11, 2008. While the Hirshhorn Museum has since developed a time-based media team with a part-time contract conservator and a full-time staff conservator as members, at the time of the joint acquisition of this artwork with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), the Hirshhorn did not yet have a dedicated conservator for time-based works. As a result, collaboration among employees and departments— and just as importantly, with outside contractors such as the museum’s electronics repair and maintenance technician—proved to be an absolute necessity. The 2008 installation tested existing documentation and created new documentation. It also provoked questions about risks that the work faces, and how these risks could potentially be mitigated for the long term. During our discussions about documen- tation strategies, Jill Sterrett, Director of Collections and Conservation at SFMOMA, made a point that informed much of our project: that every installation of a complex time-based artwork must also be considered a conservation opportunity.

Tony Oursler, No Skin, 1996, video projected on fiberglass globe As collage technique replaced oil paint, the cathode ray tube will replace the canvas. Nam June Paik 1973 ! ! INTRODUCTION: ! The interest in time-based art has a long history.! In the 19th century gallery goers often viewed paintings at night, by roaring torchlight, in an effort to see images flicker and move.! In the early 20th century, numerous European artists experimented with the new technology of film as a means to expand their work in painting and sculpture.! But film was at first too costly and difficult for artists to produce and distribute.! It was not until 1965 and the availability of the portable camcorder that visual artists on a broad scale (and in the context of conceptual and performance art trends) began to interrelate time, motion, sound, and image and developed a time-based art form distinct from the language of cinema. ! About two thirds of the class focuses on the development of analog video art in the 1960s and 1970s. ! In the last third of the course, the development of digitized video in its various forms (installation, Internet, interactive) will be considered.! The course will be chronological but proceed in terms of major thematic topics, topics that correspond to the principal groupings of “classical” video art but that still provide useful models for approaching new video and its critical literature today. ! Class meets for 3 hours once a week.
