  • Dara Birnbaum
    DARA BIRNBAUM 8 NOVEMBER 201 8 – 12 JANUARY, 2019 OPENING RECEPTION: THURSDAY 8 NOVEMBER 2018 , 6– 8pm “Her use of video and found footage, her editing and image processing are groundbreaking…. This is our visual language.” -Eva Respini, Barbara Lee Chief Curator, ICA, Boston Marian Goodman Gallery London is delighted to present an exhibition of works by Dara Birnbaum, with special focus on her large-scale video installations from the 1990s. The exhibition will open on 8 November 2018, running until 12 January 2019. Birnbaum’s practice has long been concerned with the lexicon of broadcasting and communication and the way ‘truths’ are delivered to the viewer. An early proponent of video art, Birnbaum began by isolating imagery from television, recontextualising it in an attempt to understand its true meaning. For the first time since her major 2009/2010 travelling retrospective, The Dark Matter of Media Light, the three works Tiananmen Square: Break-In Transmission, 1990, Transmission Tower: Sentinel, 1992 and Hostage, 1994, will be shown Transmission Tower: Sentinel, 1992. Installation view, together. All three pieces were made in response to major political events in the latter part of Documenta IX commission, Kassel, Germany, 1992. the 20th century, as a way to uncover the complex relationship between the media, the events covered and the way in which those events are presented to the public. On view in the side galleries will be a selection of two-dimensional works focusing on the anonymous street posters from the May 68 protests in France, as well as the series Lesson Plans (To Keep the Revolution Alive), 1977, which formed the basis of the artist’s first exhibition, at Artists Space in New York in 1977.

  • Stories from a Generation: Video Art at the Woman's
    STORIES FROM A GENERATION: VIDEO ART AT THE WOMAN’S BUILDING Cecilia Dougherty Introduction In 1994, Elayne Zalis, who was at the time the video archivist at the Long Beach Museum of Art, brought a small selection of tapes to the University of California at Irvine ( UCI ) for a presentation about early video by women. I was teaching video production at UCI at the time and had heard from a colleague that Long Beach housed a large collection of videotapes produced at the Los Angeles Woman’s Building. I mistakenly assumed that Zalis’s talk was based on this collection, and I wanted to see more. I telephoned her after the presentation. She explained that the tapes she presented were part of a then- current exhibition called “The First Generation: Women and Video, 1970 –75,” curated by JoAnn Hanley. She said that although the work from “The First Generation” was not from the Woman’s Building collection, the Long Beach Museum did in fact have some tapes I might want to see. They had the Woman’s Building tapes, and there were more than 350 of them. 1 Moreover, I could visit the Annex at any time to look at them. I felt as if I had struck gold. Eventually I watched over fifty of the tapes, most of which are from the seven - ties, and unearthed a rich and phenomenal body of early feminist video work. A con - siderable amount of the material was based in autobiography, performance, documen - tation, and political interpretation of popular culture. I was interested in how the work compared to the larger picture of artists’ video at the time, and I wanted to know why this work had been all but lost to the history of video.

An international selection of artworks made for broadcast, the exhibi- tion documents the crossovers and collaborations that take place on this new television, between and among dancers, musicians, play- wrights, actors, authors, poets, and visual and video artists . And it investigates the artists' own investigation of one medium -- be it dance or music or literature -- through another . It examines the transformations video makes and the possibilities it allows . These provocative uses of television time and technology are organized in THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION according to the medium transformed by the electronic image ; the six categories are Dance for Television, Music for Television, Theatre for Television, Literature for Television, The Video Image (works that address video as a visual art, that make reference to the traditional visual arts and to seeing itself), and Not Necessarily Television (works that address the usual content of TV, and transform it) . The ARTS FOR TELEVISION also presents another level of collaboration in artists' television . It documents the involvement of television stations in Europe and America with art and artists' video . It recognizes their commitment and acknowledges the risks they take in allowing artists the opportunity to realize works of art .

  • Dara Birnbaum Before Wonder Woman
    DARA BIRNBAUM BEFORE WONDER WOMAN March 30, 2011 ELECTRONIC ARTS INTERMIX Celebrating 40 Years DARA BIRNBAUM: BEFORE WONDER WOMAN Early Performance Video Screening and Conversation EAI is proud to present a screening and conversation with pioneering video artist Dara Birnbaum, whose provocative analyses of television and mass culture have been highly influential. Marking the publication of a major new book, Dara Birnbaum: The Dark Matter of Media Light, Birnbaum will screen and speak about her earliest videos, which preceded and informed her well-known single-channel works—including the classic Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman—of the late 1970s and '80s. In the mid-1970s, Birnbaum created a series of black-and-white, performance-based video exercises that represent her earliest experiments with the medium. Rarely screened in public, these remarkable videos, which were restored by EAI, are being presented together for the first time in New York as part of EAI's ongoing 40th anniversary programming.

  • Press True Confessions of a Video Art Pioneer
    MAR IAN GOODMAN GALLERY True confessions of a video art pioneer How the influential artist discovered the medium by accident By Pac Pobric (December 6, 2013) Dara Birnbaum and her work, Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman, 1978 Dara Birnbaum’s first institutional show in New York almost never happened. In 1975, the artist returned to her home town after spending a year in Florence, Italy. She found work as a waitress three nights a week and a place to live in SoHo. Rent was cheap. She paid around $125 a month, and devoted much of her time to working on her art. She quickly found a community of artists— including Robin Winters, Willoughby Sharp and Scott and Beth B—with whom she would exhibit in alternative spaces such as apartment lofts. But commercial galleries and other institutions were not yet on the map. “When I first started,” Birnbaum tells me over lunch, “I had no intention of going into galleries.” So they came to her. After Birnbaum had spent a couple of years in New York, a representative of Artists Space, a non-profit gallery, visited the artist in her studio as a first step towards potentially showing her work. Birnbaum had been making performance-based art partly inspired by Vito Acconci, but her visitor wasn’t interested. “He looked at me and said: ‘Did something happen to you?’ He just totally didn’t understand. So I was turned down.” But Birnbaum had an ally in Suzanne Kuffler, an artist and friend with whom she had collaborated on finding places to exhibit work.
