Light and Water: Drawing in Eighteenth-Century RELATED EVENTS AND PUBLICATIONS California Video At the Getty Center, March 15, 2008 – June 8, 2008 All events are free, unless otherwise noted. Seating reservations are required. For reservations and information, please call (310) 440-7300 or visit www.getty.edu. SCREENING SERIES This series of six evening screenings coincides with the California Video exhibition on view from March 15 through June 8, 2007. Each program is organized by a guest curator and expresses an alternate view of the diverse history of video art in California. These programs will also be available for viewing in the exhibition’s Video Study Room. Memory Inversion Rita Gonzalez, artist and assistant curator, Special Exhibitions, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, hosts a program that focuses on video art from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Critical theory, collage, and allusions to literature, television, and cinematic genres characterize videos from this era as artists pushed video into freeform essayistic modes. The program features videos by Lawrence Andrews, Collage Ensemble, Steve Fagin, Jeanne C. Finley, Erika Suderberg, and Tran T. Kim Trang, among others. Wednesday, March 26, 7:30 p.m. Harold M. Williams Auditorium Media/Concept/Art Bob Riley, independent curator and founder of the Department of Media Arts at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, investigates the legacy of performance art and its relationship to video in California. By adapting vaudeville and experimental postwar theater— including radical forms of public dissent that characterized the era—to the stage of the television image, artists set a precedent for subjectivity in art as the video environment and means of production expanded. Featuring work by Karen Finley, Howard Fried, the Kipper Kids, Marlon Riggs, and others. Wednesday, April 2, 7:30 p.m. Harold M. Williams Auditorium -more- Page 2 L.A. Video: Uncensored Artist Bruce Yonemoto offers an overview of the underside of an urban Los Angeles often glimpsed but rarely seen. Many of the works in this program were originally programmed for a Valentine’s Day event at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) and have since been featured at other festival venues. The prevailing 1980s culture of pre-AIDS sex, drugs, cultural theory, and rock ‘n’ roll made its way into the Valentine Video program. Participating artists felt a freedom to show works without the restrictions imposed by television, film content, or the ever-present museum/gallery curatorial complex. Wednesday, April 9, 7:30 p.m. Harold M. Williams Auditorium TV Art Kathy Rae Huffman, visual arts director of Cornerhouse and former curator at the Long Beach Museum of Art, hosts a screening that includes works inspired and influenced by an aesthetic commentary on television. All were broadcast in the 1970s and 1980s. The screening includes works by Ante Bozanich, Nancy Buchanan, Chris Burden, Alba Cane, Jaime Davidovich, Hildegarde Duane, John Duncan, Doug Hall, Peter Ivers, Mickey McGowan, Jody Procter and Chip Lord, Ilene Segalove, Richard Serra, Mitchell Syrop, and Bruce and Norman Yonemoto. Wednesday, May 14, 7:30 p.m. Harold M. Williams Auditorium Without Imagination There Is No Will: The Woman’s Building Tapes Organized by Los Angeles–based artist Meg Cranston, this program presents a selection of rarely screened video works produced at the Los Angeles Woman's Building in the 1970s. Founded in 1973, the Woman’s Building was a downtown Los Angeles hub for feminist thought, discussion, mobilization, social support, creativity, and art making. The Feminist Studio Workshop provided resources to female artists, including a number of early Sony Portapak video cameras. The tapes that emerged from the program reflect the insight and urgency with which feminist artists were making their voices heard. Wednesday, May 21, 7:30 p.m. Harold M. Williams Auditorium I’ll Be Your Mirror: Works about Celebrity Steve Seid, senior video curator, Pacific Film Archive, University of California, Berkeley, celebrates the Golden State’s most renewable resource: celebrity, pure and simple. The works in this screening—which consider celebrity to be one of California’s principal exports— function as obstacles in the easy manufacture and circulation of fame and desire. Featuring works by Anne McGuire, Lucas Michael, Karla Milosevich, Leslie Singer, Scott Stark, and others. Wednesday, May 28, 7:30 p.m. Harold M. Williams Auditorium CONVERSATION The David Ross Show David Ross, former director of SFMOMA and the Whitney Museum, welcomes special guest John Baldessari, as well as Glenn Phillips, curator of the California Video exhibition. Other artists featured in the Getty exhibition join them for really good conversation. Thursday, April 3, 7:00 p.m. Harold M. Williams Auditorium -more- Page 3 SPECIAL INSTALLATIONS Nina Sobell’s Interactive Electroencephalographic Video Drawings In 1973, artist Nina Sobell began a collaboration with Veteran’s Administration Hospital neuropsychologists to translate electroencephalogram (EEG) readings taken from two subjects into a live video image, resulting in the installation Interactive Electroencephalographic Video Drawings. While Sobell has continued to update the project using current technologies, the installation has been re-created for California Video using its original 1973 appearance. Wired with EEG sensors, participants sit in a living-room-like environment while observing a composite image of their brainwaves on a closed-circuit monitor. Same-day signups are required. Fridays and Saturdays, 6:00–9:00 p.m. Sunday, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Getty Research Institute Lecture Hall, The Getty Center Hotbed, Video Cultivation beside the Getty Gardens By Anne Bray, Director of Freewaves Projected onto the exterior walls of the Getty Center, 21 artists' videos from 1984 to 2007 explore the theme of the body as nature or culture. Spectacularly displayed between the architecture and gardens, viewers stroll the grounds from the tram to the cactus garden in this special 2-evening installation. Friday–Saturday, May 9–10, 6–9 p.m. Getty Center GALLERY COURSES California Video: Artists and Histories Join exhibition curator Glenn Phillips, senior project specialist, Getty Research Institute, in a series of screenings, lectures, and discussions examining the history of video art in California.

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.

  • Against Rigour in Art a Review of Landscape: the Virtual, the Actual, the Possible? Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco October 24, 2014–January 25, 2015
    Brian Karl Against Rigour in Art A Review of Landscape: the virtual, the actual, the possible? Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco October 24, 2014–January 25, 2015 “A lady visited Matisse in his studio. Inspecting one of his latest works, she unwisely said, ‘But surely the arm of this woman is much too long.’ ‘Madame,’ the artist politely replied, ‘You are mistaken. This is not a woman, this is a picture.’” –Stelarc, “Prosthetic Head: Intelligence, Awareness and Agency,” interview with the Prosthetic Head, an artificial linguistic entity1 n the paragraph-long story “On Rigor in Science,” Jorge Luis Borges takes up a conceit from Lewis Carroll’s fnal novel, Sylvie and Bruno, Ifrst published in 1889: The proposal to expand the scale of map- making to align one-to-one to the areas that each map is meant to represent. In Carroll’s telling, some closer-to-the-earth farmers scuttle the project when they point out how such a map would kill all crops by blocking out the sun. In Borges’s telling, however, the fanciful notion went forward as the ne plus ultra or ad absurdum of representation, only to be abandoned after completion, left to decay through exposure, open to the elements by those next generations “not so fond of the study of Cartography” and who realized that the all-encompassing maps were “Useless” and “not without some Pitilessness.”2 The exhibition Landscape: the virtual, the actual, the possible? at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, featured work by a group of twenty-one artists working in a broad assortment of approaches and media and engaging with different thematics of representation, hovering around a focus—or, rather, foci—on different ideas of landscape, nature, and environment.

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.

  • 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.

  • 'State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970' at the Bronx Museum Of
    ‘State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970’ at the Bronx Museum of the Arts MAIKA POLLACK In the late 1960s and early 1970s, California was a contemporary-art backwater. Without a strong gallery system, work wasn’t likely to sell, and fine art existed in Hollywood’s shadow. Art professors and MFA students are always underdogs compared with the entertainment industry, but those on the West Coast—“snotty surfer upstarts,” as one artist put it—were considered even more so, by dint of the fact that they weren’t in New York. The best works in this exhibition curated by Constance Lewallen and Karen Moss take advantage of that outsider position, making use of art’s ability to conjure or invent new meanings and contexts. The standout piece is Allen Ruppersberg’s Al’s Grand Hotel (1971). Stationery announces that you can rent rooms in “The grand hotel,” a fictional/real hotel-as-art-project. Life-size http://galleristny.com/2013/07/state-of-mind-new-california-art-circa-1970-at- the-bronx-museum-of-the-arts/ cutouts show the artist as a shirtless cowboy—a kind of counterculture maître-d’—flashing a peace sign. A soundtrack of country songs played by Terry Allen on the opening night of the hotel event (from a 2011 LP) is paired with a guest book. That the whole thing takes place within the framework of art-making complicates the endeavor, blurring the line between doomed business, party, happening and savvy cultural capital- producing endeavor. Installation view. (Photo by David Familian/Bronx Museum of the Arts) Paul Kos, a Bay Area conceptual artist, has perhaps the second-coolest piece, Sound of Ice Melting (1970), with eight boom mikes, cables and speakers, and a Yamaha mixer all hooked up to a puddle of water (which presumably had once been a block of ice).
