They brought to the world pioneering paintings, innovative design, unprecedented architectural feats, and photographs that captured the struggles, fashions, and cultural obsessions of the last century. Among them: Thornton Dial, a self-taught artist from Alabama, made intricate, bold assemblages that powerfully channeled the African- American experience. Marisol and Shirley Jaffe, pioneers of Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism, respectively, helped forge a place for women in both male-dominated movements. Malick Sidibé harnessed the exuberance of post-colonial Mali in his photographic portraits, while Marc Riboud created an international anti- war icon in his image of a Vietnam war protester holding a flower while facing a line of bayonets, and Bill Cunningham chronicled the ever- changing sartorial trappings of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Premature passings included that of Zaha Hadid, the boundary-pushing, Iraqi-British architect, and Leila Alaoui, a documentary photographer who focused on migration and displacement and died in a terrorist attack, while on assignment for UN Women and Amnesty International in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. While these trailblazing artists are no longer with us, their creative spirits live on in the work they left behind, which, collectively, will continue to inspire generations of artists after them.

WI TIU.YU SHARE THIS VIISC�NS/-•CON-N Jaime Davidovich's decades in video "# f ADVERTISEMENT MARCH 19, 201S, 4:03 PM here once was a time when artists, some artists at least, believed in television. Not in T an ironic way, as successful satirists like Stephen Colbert or the makers of "The Simpsons" do, but sincerely, as a means of broadcasting visual experiments to an interested public at large. This time was the 1970s, when television was still transmitted via radiowaves and on-demand was a thing of the future. Back then, an Argentinian artist named Jaime Davidovich, who had moved to New York City in 1963 as a painter of monochromes, began to organize and star in artist-made television. In 1976, he co-founded Cable SoHo, which is exactly what it sounds like. Two years later he became president of the Artists' Television Network, a group dedicated to developing the medium artistically and to distributing contemporary arts programming to a broad viewership. Between 1979 and 1984, he produced "The Live! Show," a half-hour avant-garde variety program that was as much about art as it was art itself. A rotating selection of Davidovich's videos is currently screening at Threewalls as part of "Outreach: Jaime Davidovich, 1974-1984," curated by Daniel R.

In 2007, the gallery decided to venture into the much lesser known world of conceptual practices from Latin America including artists Juan Downey, Claudio Perna, Nicolás García Uriburu, Diego Barboza, Marta Minujín, Clemente Padín, Guillermo Deisler and Horacio Zabala. In 2009, we opened a new gallery with an exhibition by argentine artist, poet and filmmaker Leandro Katz. The next year, we doubled the size of the gallery which allowed us to continue exhibiting historical Latin American works from the 50's, 60's and the 70's in addition to a program of exhibitions by contemporary artists such as Emilio Chapela, Alessandro Balteo Yazbeck, Miler Lagos, Javier Téllez and Alexander Apóstol. Since we opened the gallery, the demand for Latin American works has increased exponentially.

  • 5 Old-School NYC Video Artists You Should Know (And Follow)
    https://hyperallergic.com/121286/5-old-school-nyc-video-artists-you-should-know-and-follow/[9/27/18, 2:47:40 PM] � � � � ARTICLES 5 Old-School NYC Video Artists You Should Know (and Follow) Jason Varone April 18, 2014 Peter Campus, still from “Kiva” (1971) (photo by the author for Hyperallergic) Most written accounts of the origins of video art trace the medium back to the Sony Portapak, the first affordable, battery-powered, portable video-recording device that could be operated by a single individual. The resulting democratization of video was quickly seen as having radical potential. Artists could challenge the rising influence of broadcast media. All of a sudden, the barriers to working in this time-based medium were removed. Looking at the work of a few pioneers, specifically those on the scene in New York City, it’s obvious that technology was a catalyst for a new type of electronic art; these artists were trailblazers in both fields. And this remains true of their current work, 37 years after the first Portapak hit the market. Here, then, are five old-school NYC video artists whose work you should know about and (still) be following. Mary Lucier Mary Lucier (b. 1944, Bucyrus, OH) burned vidicon tubes with lasers and pointed the video camera directly at the sun, testing the limits of technology in her pieces from the 1970s, such as “Dawn Burn” and “Fire Writing.” She’s also known for telling subtle but powerful human stories in multichannel video installations, and the natural landscape is featured prominently in her current work.

    Ebook Jaime Davidovich In Conversation With Daniel R. Quiles Freeware As a fixture on the SoHo-based experimental art scene of the 1970s and 1980s, Argentine-American video/television-art pioneer and conceptual artist Jaime Davidovich (born 1936) has worked in a broad variety of mediums throughout his long career, including video, painting and installation, while also establishing himself as an activist and TV producer. His weekly variety program, The Live! Show (1979–84), featured performances and interviews with artists such as Laurie Anderson, Eric Bogosian, Tony Oursler and Michael Smith, while other video works included appearances by the artist Stuart Sherman. Davidovich embraced a postmodernist’s eclecticism and a humorous aesthetic. In this lively conversation with scholar Daniel R. Quiles, Davidovich recounts his early years in postwar Argentina, the 1963 coup d’état that led to his relocation to New York and his long, influential career.

The current program, selected by Barbara London, Curatorial Assistant, Prints and Illustrated Books, will be on view daily in the Auditorium Gallery from 2:00 to 5:15 p.m. through April 18. Although the portapak camera has been used by network television for on-the-scene investigative reporting, its low cost and simplicity of operation have made it attractive to many artists and independent video -journalists. It also has several other technical advantages: material can be seen on a television set monitor during the shooting; image and sound can be recorded simultaneously; and the tape can be replayed and viewed instantly. As the current program illustrates, the portapak is useful both in documenting public activities and focusing on intimate situations. Examples of the latter are William Leavitt's Four Vignettes which combines sensual elegance with mundane activities, and Jaime Davidovitch1s 3 Mercer Street, a silent exploration of an empty store-front room which evokes both humor and suspense. In The New Embodied Sign Language of a Sex According to the Laws of Anatomy, Geometry, and Kinetics, Friederike Pezold focuses the camera on herself, creating from various parts of her body stark, high- contrast images which are often abstract or playfully ambiguous. r PROJECTS VIDEO VII SPECIAL PRESS SCREENING Wednesday, February 25 at 2:00 P.M.
