From the Director are delighted that The 197(J's: NEW American Painting, which we organized for the International Communications Agency , opened on June 13 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. We have tried and thus far succeeded to create an organization whose primary Winter1979 NEWS responsibility is both to artists and their Spring 1980 work and to the public who comes to view that work. To this end, we have seen as much new work as possible, both in the studio and by means of slides and portfolios brought in to our office.

Marcia Tucker Director Museum Receives Jerome Foundation Grant The New Museum received a $10,000 grant for its 1978-79 program year from the Jerome Foundat~ion to support exhibitions of work by emerging artists. The Jerome Foundation, founded in 1954 by the late J. Jerome Hill , focuses on the arts and humanities, particularly cinematography, dance, mu sic, theatre and the visual arts. The Foundation encourages experimental, innovative and creative endeavors in th ese media and, through appropriate non-profit in stitu- tions, devotes itself to assisting artists whose work has received little public ex posure. photo credit: GeoffryeHood Support is limited to Greater New York City, the State of Minnesota (where th e Foundation's headquarters is located) Mime, Music and Magic and adjoining midwest states.

  • 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.

  • Michael Clark (A.K.A
    ARTIST MICHAEL CLARK: WASHINGTON April 3 – May 27, 2018 American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center Washington, DC ALPER INITIATIVE FOR WASHINGTON ART FOREWORD Michael Clark (a.k.a. Clark Fox) has been an influential figure in the Washington art world for more than 50 years, despite dividing his time equally between the capital and New York City. Clark was not only a fly on the wall of the art world as the last half- century played out—he was in the middle of the action, making innovative works that draw their inspiration from movements as diverse as Pop Art, Op Art, Conceptual Art, Minimalism, and the Washington Color School. The result of this prolific and varied artistic oeuvre is that Clark’s output is too much for one show. After consulting with former Washington Post art critic Paul Richard, I decided Michael Clark: Washington Artist at the American University Museum would concentrate on his significant artistic contributions to the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s in Washington, DC. In line with his amazingly diverse and productive career, a conversation with Michael Clark is similar to drinking from a fire hose. In one sentence, he can jump from painting techniques using masking tape to making cookies for Jackie Onassis. My transcription of our conversation, presented here as a soliloquy, tries its best to maintain some kind of coherence and order, but in reality, I just tried to hold on for the ride. In contrast, the amazing thing about Clark’s art is how still, focused, and composed it is. The leaps and diversions of his lively mind are transmuted into an almost classical art, more Modigliani than Soutine, probably reflecting the time spent in his early years copying masterworks in the National Gallery of Art.

Fox), a recent graduate of the Corcoran School of Art and a skilled artist, to paint the fifty copies.41 The process of mass-reproducing Popsicle highlighted a hierarchy of labor in Giveaway, by which the physical production of the work was subordinate to its conception. Working on five canvases at a time, twelve to sixteen hours a day for nine days, and paid less than a skilled worker’s hourly wages plus meals, Clark painted all fifty works.42 Extant canvases bear the silkscreened names of the three event organizers followed by Clark’s original signature, with some—but not all—of the works also signed by Clark’s assistants ( fig. 10).43 In effect diminishing the painter and fabricators’ skill and artistic contributions, Douglas Davis declared “although his work is original and profound, in some ways Gene Davis is an easy copy.”44 Like Sturtevant’s repetitions, the copies of Popsicle were not exact.45 Mixing pigments to produce the exact hues of the original painting was challenging, given the brevity of Davis’s instructions.46 Moreover, at least one critic noted stylistic differences between Davis’s and Clark’s stripes; the older artist had been interested in how overlapping colors could produce faint effects of subtle vibration, but Clark did not have the luxury of letting one stripe dry before painting the next.47 Subtle aesthetic differences between the original and its reproductions produced fresh skepticism about a model of creative practice unable to see beyond the dichotomy of author and nonauthor.
