The MIT List Visual Arts Center’s Media Test Wall presents Video Trajectories (Redux): Selections from the MIT List Visual Arts Center New Media Collection. 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." October 13-November 14 Dara Birnbaum Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman, 1978-79 Video, color, sound, 5 minutes 50 seconds Courtesy of Electronic Arts Intermix Trained in architecture and painting, Birnbaum early on understood the estranging power of repetition. -
Modernism 1 Modernism
Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 collection: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. injunction to "Make it new!" was paradigmatic of the movement's Hofmann was renowned not only as an artist but approach towards the obsolete. Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking. -
Bruce Nauman
BRUCE NAUMAN “The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.” -Bruce Nauman Biography BRUCE NAUMAN Video > Make Me Think Me Nauman studied mathematics and physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and art with William T. Wiley and Robert Arneson at the University of California in Davis. He worked as an assistant to Wayne Thiebaud and in 1966 he became a teacher at the San Francisco Art Institute. In 1968 he met the singer and performance artist Meredith Monk and signed with the dealer Leo Castelli. In the 1980s he moved to New Mexico. Much of his work is characterised by an interest in language which often manifests itself in a playful, mischievous manner. For example, the neon Run From Fear- Fun From Rear, or the photograph Bound To Fail which literalises the title phrase and shows the artist's arms tied behind his back. There are however, very serious concerns at the heart of the work. Nauman seems to be interested in the nature of communication and the inherent problems of language, as well as the role of the artist as supposed communicator and manipulator of visual language. In 1999 he received the Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale. In 2004 he created his work Raw Materials at Tate Modern. Nauman cites Samuel Beckett, Ludwig Wittgenstein, John Cage, Philip Glass, La Monte Young and Meredith Monk as major influences on his work. Biography Born Fort Wayne, Indiana, 1941 EDUCATION 1964 B.S. University of Wisconsin, Madison (mathmatics & physics) 1966 M.F.A.

Bruce Nauman:Make Me Think Me Educators’ Pack
Bruce Nauman:Make Me Think Me Educators’ Pack Make Me Think Me Central to Nauman’s work is his exploration of art’s potential as a means to investigate the human condition. Make Me Think Me focuses on this aspect of Nauman’s work, and is divided into two parts. Part One examines the artist’s preoccupation with language. It includes photographs, neon works, sound pieces, sculptures and works on paper that incorporate wordplay. Nauman tests language to the point where it breaks down as a means of communication and becomes a mere pattern or sound. Raw-War, 1971 Part Two explores his engagement with the body and its use as a symbol. The subject shifts from the artist’s own body to that of clowns, actors and also to the viewer. Confronted with “What to do”, alone in his studio following graduation, Nauman came to the conclusion that if he is an artist then everything he does in his studio is art. He recorded himself performing simple, mundane tasks such as applying make-up, pulling faces, bouncing a ball and walking around a square in order to investigate human behaviour, the actions being emblematic of the wider human condition. Works such as Corridor Installation (Nick Wilder Installation) 1971 and Double Steel Cage Piece 1974 allow him to examine audience reaction and response. The viewer unwittingly becomes performer on entering these works, but movement is always predetermined and controlled by the artist. The exhibition culminates with a selection of Nauman’s animal and head casts. The interchanging of body parts in these sculptures can be read symbolically or metonymically, recalling the chopping and changing of words and phrases at the beginning of the exhibition. -

Art 381 Repeat Perform Record
Sculpture 381 Fall 2013 T/Th 1-4 Repeat, Perform, Record Billy Culiver E.A.T. 9 Evening in Art and Technology A Class Exploring the Intersection Between Theater, Dance and Visual Art The studio art course, Repeat, Perform, Record we will consider the dynamic of live bodies in physical spaces and read critical text and philosophical ideas about performance art. You will have 3 assignment: 1. Work Ethic-Duration/Record, 2. Work Ethic Labor and a collaborative work done with dancers, 3. Spaces Created by Action/Action Created by Spaces. Each assignment is directly aligned to a set of readings and visiting artists who will join the class. In this class, I attempt to honor the radical roots of Performance Art, with its history of expanding notions of how we make art, how we witness art, and what we understand the function of art to be. Performance art in the studio art context emerged from the visual and plastic arts rather than the traditional categories of dance and theater. From the beginning “Performance” was part of the modernist movements such as Futurism, Dada. With the emergence of Fluxus, Situationalism, Happenings, and Conceptualist practices the correspondence with the conscious use of space, time and process became central to Performance Art. With in the last decade, the concept of space, time and process have blended to expand Performance Art, making it a contemporary tool for expression with diverse directions of visual art, theater, dance, music and social practices. Contemporary live art now employs many different forms of experimentation diminishing the known or rehearsed dynamics of performance by opening it to improvisation and chance operations. -

Broken Tools and Misfit Toys: Adventures in Applied Media Theory Marcel O’Gorman University of Waterloo AbstrAct The majority of media theorists who have applied their work in new technolog - ical contexts have eschewed formal experimentation to produce a print-oriented mode of dis - course. Even in the digital humanities, scholars build and use tools that ultimately lead to the creation of traditional academic essays and monographs. Applied Media Theory (AMT) is a method that engages in formal experimentation with media to generate critical discourses and technologies. This article identifies a new applied critical practice that not only examines, but also intervenes, in the formation of digital culture, primarily by combining digital art practices with conventional research methods. AMT is outlined here through a description of projects underway in the Critical Media Lab at the University of Waterloo. KeywOrds Digital Art; Media Theory; Digital Humanities; Practice-based Research résuMé La plupart des théoriciens des médias qui situent leurs travaux dans de nouveaux contextes technologiques préfèrent un discours orienté vers l’imprimé plutôt que des expérimentations sur la forme. Même dans l’étude des médias interactifs, les chercheurs développent et emploient des outils qui mènent ultimement à la création de monographies et d’articles traditionnels. La théorie médiatique appliquée est une approche où l’on effectue des expériences formelles avec les médias afin de générer des technologies et des discours critiques. Cet article identifie à ce titre une nouvelle pratique critique appliquée qui examine non seulement la formation de la culture numérique mais intervient aussi dans cette formation, principalement en combinant les pratiques d’art numérique et les méthodes de recherche conventionnelles. -
Guggenheim Museum Archives Reel-To-Reel Collection “Post Object Sculpture” with Jack Burnham, 1967 Good Afternoon, Ladies An
Guggenheim Museum Archives Reel-to-Reel collection “Post Object Sculpture” with Jack Burnham, 1967 MALE 1 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the third in a series of lectures on contemporary sculpture, presented by the museum on the occasion of the Fifth Guggenheim International Exhibition. Today’s lecture is by Mr. Jack Wesley Burnham. Mr. Burnham is an individual who combines the extraordinary qualities of being both artist and scientist, as well as writer. He was born in 1931 in New York City. He studied at the Boston Museum School, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He holds an engineering degree. He holds the degrees of Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from Yale University, at which institution he was on the faculty. [00:01:00] And he’s at present a professor at Northwestern University. He is the author of a major new study of modern sculpture, to be published next year by Braziller in New York, entitled Beyond Modern Sculpture. His lecture today is entitled, “Post-Object Sculpture.” After the lecture, there will be a short question-and-answer period. Mr. Burnham. JACK BURNHAM Mr. [Fry?], I’d like to thank you for inviting me. And I’d like to [00:02:00] thank all of you for being here today. I’m going to read part of this lecture, and part of it will be fairly extemporaneous. But I’d like to begin by saying that I find the task of speaking on post- object sculpture difficult for two reasons. First, because the rationale behind object sculpture and the art form itself have developed to such a sophisticated degree in the past two years. -
Mike Steiner 17
DNA GmbH Auguststraße 20, 10117 Berlin, Germany Tel. + 49 (0)30 28 59 96 52 Fax + 49 (0)30 28 59 96 54 www.dna-galerie.de MIKE STEINER 17. 09. – 26. 10. 2013 Public Opening: 17 September 2013, Tuesday, 7 pm - 9 p.m. DNA shows Mike Steiner, an artist, a filmmaker, a painter, a documenter, a collector and a pioneer of video art. This exhibition at DNA is re– introducing the art of Mike Steiner, who brought video art from New York into the Berlin´s experimental scene in the 70’s. The great contribution of Steiner, who died in 2012, can be recognized by his ground-breaking way of crossing borders between media, such as video, performance as well as sculpture and painting. The exhibition is composed not only of his work, documenting the art of performance practice but also, his significant work as a video artist and painter. Live to Tape, The collection of Mike Steiner in Hamburger Bahnhof About the artist Born in 1941 in Allenstein (East Prussia), Mike Steiner was one of the first artists to discovering the new medium of experimental video art. When filming, he focused either on documenting certain events or performances made by other artists. His technique was unique as he managed to capture moments in a specific way through the framing and composition within his shots. Hotel Steiner (1970), which the art critic Heinz Ohff compared with Chelsea Hotel in New York, was used as a melting pot where both local and international artists could come together, a space for artistic creation that never existed before in Berlin.
