The Fourth Floor Gallery The Fourth Floor Gallery Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada December, 1971 – August, 1972 North Gallery, Works by Graham Dube, Robin Peck, Richards Jarden, Ian Murray, Gerald Ferguson, Garry Neil Kennedy, January, 1972 The Fourth Floor Gallery Executive Director & Curator: Ian Murray Exhibition Manager: Cyne Cobb Guest Curators: David Askevold, Cyne Cobb, Gerald Ferguson, Dan Graham, David Sewell, Doug Waterman The Fourth Floor Gallery was founded by Ian Murray in September 1971 with assistance from Cyne Cobb, and S. Wayne Stark. It opened to the public in December of 1971 and closed in August of 1972. Located at 1875 Granville Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, The Fourth Floor Gallery was comprised of a room 35’ x 50’, a room of 35’ x 75’ but on occasion two rooms of the same size in the studios of Ian Murray on the third floor of the same building were also used as were the stairways and entrances. Ceilings were 14’ or more in most places. It is hard to not consider the importance to The Fourth Floor Gallery of its collaboration with the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Murray was a student and Assistant in the Visiting Artist Program from 1971-1972, a role Cyne Cobb performed in 1972 – 1973. Many faculty and students exhibited in the Gallery or were lenders to exhibitions and many presentations were made possible through collaboration with NSCAD. The absence of any competing art scene in Halifax, the spirit of the Eternal Network described by Robert Filliou and George Brecht, mail art, the portability of conceptual art and the burgeoning development of publication and mass media based art were all elements of the Gallery’s development. At the same time artist run galleries and projects like A Space, Art Metropole, The Parachute Centre, The Western Front were in development across Canada and all of the players were in contact with each other. In addition to exhibitions in the galleries, The Fourth Floor Gallery presented works on the streets of Halifax, vending machines in workplaces and the Halifax-Dartmouth Ferry; postal, cable and telegraph projects; television works through the Halifax, Dartmouth and Sackville community cable television stations; radio art works on CKDU FM Radio and shortwave; performances and lectures at The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and at the Dalhousie University Student Union Building. The National Film Board Theatre hosted some film programs. School tours and educational activities in the gallery included a number of lectures and classes for Dalhousie University, The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, The Nova Scotia Technical College, St. Mary’s University, St. Patrick’s High School and Queen Elizabeth High School. The gallery closed when the building was purchased as part of the development of Historic Properties on the Halifax Waterfront and is now part of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University campus. The exhibitions and performances planned for the gallery after July of 1972 were moved to the Anna Leonowens and Mezzanine Galleries of the Nova Scotia College of Art where Murray became a Curator from August of 1972 – May, 1973. Most of the files and photo documentation was deposited in the Anna Leonowens Gallery at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1973. The Fourth Floor Gallery exhibited, presented performances by or broadcast works by the following artists: Vito Acconci, Bas Jan Ader, Eric Andersen, Carl Andre, Giovanni Anselmo, Eleanor Antin, Ida Applebroog, Arakawara, Diane Arbus, Keith Arnatt, Art & Language, Robert Ashley, David Askevold, Michael Asher, Terry Atkinson, AYO, John Baldassari, Michael Baldwin, Robert Barry, Frederick Barthelme, Iain Baxter, John Jack Baylin, Benard & Hilla Becher, Joseph Beuys, Karl Beveridge, Mel Bochner, Daniel Buren, Ian Burn, Stan Brackage, Wallace Brannen, Ian Breakwell, George Brecht, Stanley Brouwn, Chris Burden, Victor Burgin, Daniel Buren, James Lee Byars, John Cage, Larry Clark, Cyne Cobb, Philip Corner, Robert Cumming, Greg Curnoe, Hanne Darboven, Tom Dean, Maya Deran, Gregg Devereaux, Jan Dibbits, Juan Downey, Marcel Duchamp, Graham Dube, Marcel Duchamp, Marty Dunn, Barbara England, Family Dog, Gerald Ferguson, Robert Filliou, Henry Flynt, Ian Hamilton Findlay, Herve Fischer, Fred Forest, Simone Forti, Terry Fox, Robert Frank, Hamish Fulton, Ken Friedman, William Gellard, Gilbert & George, Dennis Gill, John Giorno, Phillip Glass, Michael Goldberg, Dan Graham, Hans Haacke, Richard Hamilton, Al Hansen, Charles Harrison, Michael Heizer, Geoff Hendricks, Doug Heubler, Jim Hewett Band, Dick Higgins, Gary Hill, Nancy Holt, Rebbeca Horn, Robert Horovitz, Nelson Howe, Image Bank, Rick James, Richards Jarden, Ray Johnson, Joan Jonas, Donald Judd, Stephen Kaltenbach, On Kawara, Pat Kelly, Garry Neil Kennedy, Roy Kiyooka, Yves Klein, Harald Klingelholler, John Knight, Alison Knowles, Joseph Kosuth, Christine Kozlov, Sharon Kulik, Suzy Lake, John Latham, Barry Le Va, Les Levine, Sol LeWitt, Ardele Lister, Roy Litchenstein, Richard Long, Lee Lozano, Arthur Lippset, Alvin Lucier, George Maciunas, Allan Mackay, Jackson MacLow, Albert MacNamara, Brian Lee MacNevin, Gary Marcuse, Walter de Maria, Tom Marioni, Mario Mertz, Mike Metz, Karl Miller, Larry Miller, Donald Monroe, Robert Moog, Michael Morris, Robert Morris, Ian Murray, N.

Many other artists included in publication exhibitions and daily audio presentation are not recorded in the currently available documentation of The Fourth Floor Gallery. Over 300 artists not listed took part in the Halifax International 8 & Super 8MM Film Festival at the National Film Board Theatre, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, April - September, 1972 Much of the access to the work of artists in other countries was due to the then recent proliferation of printed multiples, ephemeral and mail works, the variety of visitors bringing works to Halifax through the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and the easy shipment of audio and video works at the time. Many works exhibited were from local collections.

As part of the first wave of museums to celebrate moving image work, CMOA played a central role in legitimizing film as an art form, leading a movement that would eventually result in the integration of moving image artworks in museum collections worldwide. The department's active roster of programmingÐfeaturing historical screenings, director's retrospectives, and monthly appearances by experimental filmmakers from around the worldÐwas a leading factor in Pittsburgh's emergence in the 1970s as ªone of the most vibrant and exciting places in America for exploring cinema.º (Robert A. Haller, Crossroads: Avant-garde Film in Pittsburgh in the 1970s, 2005). The museum also served as a galvanizing force in the burgeoning field by increasing visibility and promoting the professionalization of moving image art through its publication of Film and Video Makers Travel Sheet (a monthly newsletter distributed to 2,000 subscribers worldwide) and the Film and Video Makers Directory (a listing of those involved in film and video production and exhibition) and by paying substantial honoraria to visiting filmmakers.

  • ELEANOR ANTIN Artist Talk + Screening
    ELEANOR ANTIN Artist Talk + Screening Tuesday, May 19, 2009 6:30 pm Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) 535 West 22nd Street, 5th Floor (between 10th & 11th Avenues) www.eai.org Admission free ___________________________________________________________________ Eleanor Antin has worked in film, video, photography, installation and performance for four decades. In the 1970s, Antin produced a series of feature-length narrative videos starring hand-painted paper dolls. Performing with a cast of two-dimensional characters, Antin tackled major issues of the day, while lampooning contemporary gender roles and cultural stereotypes. Antin will speak about this series and screen excerpts from works including The Adventures of a Nurse (1976), The Nurse and the Hijackers (1977) and The Angel of Mercy (1981). In The Adventures of a Nurse, Antin introduces her paper doll protagonist, "Nurse Eleanor," who becomes the brave, and much put-upon, heroine of a succession of cliché romances with a dying poet, a biker, a doctor, a French ski bum, and an anti-war senator. The Nurse and the Hijackers employs the structure of a popular movie genre as an armature for Antin's theater of ideas. Featuring a cast of hand-painted paper dolls, who display more than a coincidental resemblance to figures in the art world of the 1970s, Antin's drama recounts the hijacking of "Nurse Eleanor's" plane on the way to St. Tropez. Finally, in The Angel of Mercy, Antin's paper dolls become life-size in a live performance restaged for video in 1981. Here, Antin replaces "Nurse Eleanor," her ironic amalgamation of 1970s bimbo stereotypes, with "Eleanor Nightingale," who leaves the silken prison of her Victorian home and goes off to war in the Crimea.

    Pop culture BOOK RELEASE ISBN 13: 978‐0‐86492‐659‐3 hc $50 / 144 pp / 8.5 x 10.5 David Askevold Pub Date: September 2011 (Canada & U.S.) Goose Lane Editions and Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Once Upon a Time in the East Edited by David Diviney David Askevold broke into the art scene when his work was included in the seminal exhibition Information at New York’s MOMA 1970, helping cement Conceptualism as a genre. He later became recognized as one of the most important contributors to the development and pedagogy of conceptual art; his work has been included in many of the genre’s formative texts and exhibitions. David Askevold: Once Upon a Time in the East takes readers on an eclectic journey through the various strains of Askevold’s pioneering practice — sculpture and installation, film and video, photography and photo‐text works, and digital imagery. David Askevold moved from Kansas City to Halifax in 1968 to lecture at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. During the early 1970s, his famous Projects Class brought such artists as Sol Lewitt, Vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Dan Graham, and Lawrence Weiner to work with his students, focusing critical attention on his adopted city and on his own unorthodox approach to making art. He quickly became one of the most important conceptual artists practicing in Canada, and throughout his career, he remained at the vanguard of contemporary practice. David Askevold: Once Upon a Time in the East features essays by celebrated writer‐curators Ray Cronin, Peggy Gale, Richard Hertz (author of The Beat and the Buzz), and Irene Tsatsos, as well Askevold’s contemporaries including Aaron Brewer, Tony Oursler, and Mario Garcia Torres.

  • Video Circuits
    "Written on top of ments at VIDEO CIRCUITS DECEMBER 4 - JANUARY 2, 1974 McLAUGHLIN LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH Preface and Acknowledgements This exhibition grew out of a mutual interest in video tape as an art form shared by Eric Cameron, Professor of Fine Art, Ian Easterbrook and Noel Harding of the Television Unit, Audio Visual Services at the University of Guelph . In the past we have explored the photographic image as an art form in an exhibition on the history of the still photograph from 1845 to 1970 . But this is our first exhibition of a sampling of video tape used as an expressive medium by artists . The selection of tapes was governed by our intention of presenting a show typifying what is happening in video art today . For this reason we have included tapes by established artists, faculty and students . At the University of Guelph courses in video art have been taught by Allyn Lite, Eric Cameron and Noel Harding and have been offered to students in the Department of Fine Art about once a year for the past three years . Arising out of the teaching of video tape an exchange program has been organized with the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and another planned with the California College of Arts and Crafts . Examples of tapes by students from these two schools and from this university are included in the exhibition . We are grateful to Ian Easterbrook for co-ordinating the administrative and technical requirements of this exhibition, also to Noel Harding for contacting artists and to Eric Cameron for writing the introduction to the exhibition .

  • State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970 from Acclaimed “Pacific Standard Time” Exhibition Series Comes to the Bronx Museum of the Arts
    State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970 from Acclaimed “Pacific Standard Time” Exhibition Series Comes to The Bronx Museum of the Arts Museum is Only East Coast Venue to Present Exhibition Illustrating Broad Impact “California Conceptualism” Continues to Have on Contemporary Art Bronx, NY, April 11, 2013 – This June, The Bronx Museum of the Arts will become the only East Coast venue to present State of Mind: New California Art circa 1970, an exhibition which explores the emergence of conceptual art in California in the 1960s and 70s. The exhibition was developed as part of the Getty Foundation’s collaborative exhibition series, “Pacific Standard Time,” and will feature 150 works by 60 artists in a range of media. Each of the artists featured in the exhibition—including Chris Burden, Lynn Hershman, Linda Mary Montano, Martha Rosler, Allen Ruppersberg, and Ed Ruscha—played a seminal role in the emergence of “California Conceptualism.” Marked by its radical forms and ideas, the new art movement permeated the country in the 60s and 70s and has continued to influence artists since its inception. Works in the exhibition exemplify the unrestricted style of the era, when art was produced for alternative audiences and outside of artists’ studios—in the streets, at artist-run galleries, and in other non-traditional spaces. State of Mind features video, film, photography, installation, artist's books, drawings, and extensive performance documentation and ephemera. The exhibition’s tour is organized by Independent Curators International (ICI) and will be on view at The Bronx Museum from June 22 – September 8, 2013.
