  • For Immediate Release: October 20, 1991
    David Zwirner 43 Greene Street New York, NY 10013 Tel: 212/966-9074 Fax: 212/966-4952 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: OCTOBER 20, 1991 EXHIBITION: "SAMPLER" - Southern California Video Collection 1970 - 1993 organized by Paul McCarthy DATES: November 5 -December 4, 1994 Gallery hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Opening on November 5th the gallery will show a selection of 35 single channel video tapes, all of which were produced by artists living and working in Southern California between the 1970 and 1993. The exhibition was organized by Los Angeles based artist Paul McCarthy who has been active in the Los Angeles art community since the late 60's, primarily as a performance and video artist. His recent installation in the exhibition "Helter Skelter" at the Los Angeles MOCA as well as his contributions to this years "Aperto" in Venice and to the critically acclaimed show "Post Human" in Lausanne have established Paul McCarthy as an important force in contemporary sculpture. The artists whose video tapes will be featured in this show are: Bas Jan Ader, Eleanor Antin, Skip Arnold, John Arvanities, John Baldessari, Meg Cranston, John Duncan, Allan Kaprow, Hilja Keading, Mike Kelley, The Kipper Kids, Peter Kirby, Paul McCarthy, Susan Mogul, Bruce Nauman, Tony Oursler, Raymond Pettibon, Patty Podesto, Allen Ruppersburg, Ilene Segalove, Jim Shaw, Nina Sobel, Wolfgang Stoerchle, Bruce and Norman Yonemoto. "The tape collection is by no means meant to appear or to be an anthology. This collection hardly scratches the surface of the number of video tapes made in Southern California. I was not concerned with creating a "video show" with a theme or a compiling a "gallery reel" of short concise tapes which would be directed at a conventional gallery situation.

  • Chi-Wen Gallery Art Stage Singapore 2016
    Chi-Wen Gallery Art Stage Singapore 2016 January 21-24, 2016 Video Stage : Fifty around 5 (Singapore Edition) - The Artist in The Picture Curated by Chi-Wen Huang Selected Artists: 李然 Li Ran，Chim↑Pom，崔廣宇 Tsui Kuang-Yu，余政達 Yu Cheng-Ta，關尚智 Kwan Sheung Chi， 陳瀅如 Yin-Ju Chen Fifty around 5, Singapore Edition “The Artist in the Picture”, curated by Chi-Wen Huang. Video and the use of moving images in artistic expression became popular in the 1960s with the development of new video technology, but in terms of the long sweep of art history, video art is still very much a new medium. Now those new technologies, such as camera phones, affordable HD cameras and editing equipment, allow video to be created in new and exciting ways and YouTube alone is said to launch 48 hours of video every minute. Initially, at least until the 1990’s, video as an art genre was mainly attributed to the western hemisphere, in spite of the fact that many of its most important representatives such as Nam June Paik were from Asia. However, since the turn of the century, many artists in Asia have turned to video and Asian video art has found a global public, especially at burgeoning biennales and art exhibitions across Asia and beyond. Fifty around 5, Singapore Edition “The Artist in the Picture” will focus on those single channel video works by Asian artists that feature the artists themselves performing in the video. Historically many video art pioneers came from performance and installation movements, including Vito Acconci, Bruce Nauman, Chris Burden, Joseph Beuys, John Baldessari, Bill Viola and Marina Abramovic amongst others, who all appeared them in what are now some of the most seminal video art works in history.

This five-part exhibition series features selections from the List Center’s exhibition Video Trajectories (October 12-December 30, 2007) which was originally organized by MIT Professor Caroline A. Jones. The five selections in Video Trajectories (Redux), considered masterworks from video art history were acquired to become part of the MIT List Center’s New Media Collection. This exhibition re-introduces these works to a broader public: September 12-October 10 Bruce Nauman Slow Angle Walk (Beckett Walk), 1968 Video, black-and-white, sound, 60 minutes © 2008 Bruce Nauman/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York, NY For Bruce Nauman, the video camera is an indispensable studio tool and witness. 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."

  • Bailly 1 Invisible Culture Issue 11, Fall 2007 Artist-Curators and Art Historian-Curators at the Edge
    Bailly 1 Artist-Curators and Art Historian-Curators at the Edge: How the “Modern West” Revealed Boundaries of Curatorial Practice Austen Barron Bailly This paper takes as it starting point two related projects: The Modern West: American Landscapes, 1890-1950 (October 2006-June 2007) and “Two Edges” (April 12, 2007). The Modern West was a major exhibition curated for Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) by Emily Ballew Neff, Curator, American Painting and Sculpture, and it traveled to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).1 “Two Edges” was a virtual exhibition (never mounted) curated by artist Diana Thater for her participation, with LACMA Director Michael Govan, in the museum’s “Conversations with the Director” series, part of the suite of free public programming associated with the presentation of The Modern West at LACMA. Thater’s alternative “modern west” exhibition, created using “Virtual Gallerie” software and PowerPoint and presented digitally in a verbal “walk through,” was fully realized conceptually and functioned as a critique of Neff’s The Modern West, which she believed perpetuated and celebrated the mythology of the American West. Austen Barron Bailly, author of this paper, coordinated and installed The Modern West in Los Angeles and attended Thater’s presentation. As coordinating curator, I was responsible not only for deciding how to install the exhibition for LACMA but also for working with the museum’s Education Department to help develop all public programming for the exhibition—with one notable exception: Thater and Govan’s presentation. I was not involved, nor was I expected to be, in preparations for the I would like to thank Rita Gonzalez, Assistant Curator, LACMA, for encouraging me to write this paper.

  • AR592 Art History Seminar Research Paper BILL VIOLA
    AR592 Art History Seminar Research Paper BILL VIOLA: REACHING THE SUBCONSCIOUS Submitted by Heidi Leech Department of Art In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 1996 I am transported from my conscious state to my subconscious, and feel like a stranger there. The room is scary but inviting, out of control and overwhelming but, at the same time, calm and safe. I am enveloped by the installation. Faint and static-blurred dream images of landscapes and interiors fill and move lazily across the square room's walls. The sound of static surrounds me. The images culminate into a child's face, projected across a wall, blowing out a candle as the room goes black and silent. The Cloud of Unknowing, 1994 (figure 1), a piece in the Denver Art Museum exhibition, Visions ofAmerica: Landscape as Metaphor in the Twentieth Century, was the first video installation I experienced by artist Bill Viola. It caused a reaction within me. I was and still am unable to clearly define the effect in words; I can only say that it was very powerful. I was overwhelmed by it. As I exited the installation I realized that I had not just seen images and heard sounds, but had felt the piece emotionally and physically. The second Bill Viola piece I experienced was at the Museum fur Modern Kunst in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The Stopping Mind, 1991 (figure 2), is an installation of four life size screens, oriented to make a square, surrounding viewing space.

Offering an opportunity to carefully study the medium, each work in this series is presented over the course of many months in a dedicated black box. This programming is internationally diverse, and over the course of one year it features three artworks produced for the single-channel video format. Active since the early 1970s as a pioneer of the genre, Bill Viola has been instrumental in the establishment of video as a vital form of contemporary art. For 45 years he has created videotapes, architectural video installations, sound environments, electronic music performances, flat panel video pieces, and works for television broadcast. Viola’s video installations—total environments that envelop the viewer in image and sound—employ state-of-the- art technologies and are distinguished by their precision and direct simplicity.

Nor is it news that screens have not always been so pervasive. Some readers will remember a time when screens did not accompany our every move, while others were literally greeted with the flash of a digital cam- era at the moment they were born. Before Projection: Video Sculpture 1974–1995 showcases a generation of artists who engaged with monitors as sculptural objects before they were replaced by video projectors in the gallery and long before we carried them in our pockets. Curator Henriette Huldisch has brought together works by Dara Birnbaum, Ernst Caramelle, Takahiko Iimura, Shigeko Kubota, Mary Lucier, Muntadas, Tony Oursler, Nam June Paik, Friederike Pezold, Adrian Piper, Diana Thater, and Maria Vedder to consider the ways in which artists have used the monitor conceptually and aesthetically. Despite their innovative experimentation and per- sistent relevance, many of the sculptures in this exhibition have not been seen for some time—take, for example, Shigeko Kubota’s River (1979–81), which was part of the 1983 Whitney Biennial but has been in storage for decades.
