Gerry Schum (1938-73) is the unsung hero of early Video Art, although he himself wasn’t an artist but instead served as partner/collaborator for the likes of Joseph Beuys, Richard Long, Jan Dibbets, Walter De Maria or Michael Heizer. Schum not only helped bring artists' ideas to fruition but also sought to establish Video Art in regular television programs. Unfortunately his "Fernsehgalerie", a format consisting of a curated selection of artistic videos under the programmatic titles "Land Art" and "Identifications" broadcast in 1969 and 1970, was cancelled after two episodes due to a lack of interest by both the public and TV officials.

But despite frequent setbacks he continued to propagate Video Art and opened the first ever art gallery exclusively dedicated to Video Art in Düsseldorf in 1971 for which Schum also established still valid forms of the sale and distribution of Video Art. The present publication "Ready to shoot - Fernsehgalerie Gerry Schum/videogalerie schum" published alongside the exhibition of the same title at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf in 2003/2004 offers a well-researched overview of Schum's work alongside texts elaborating on his pioneering role in early Video Art. It's still a tragedy that Schum took his life in 1973…

From 'Object Lessons: Case Studies in Minimal Art—The @guggenheim @panzacollection Initiative:' Video Stills from Lawrence Weiner’s 1970 “TO THE SEA / ON THE SEA / FROM THE SEA / AT THE SEA / BORDERING THE SEA,” made with Gerry Schum, founder and director of the Fernsehgalerie (Television Gallery) in Berlin and Hanover.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ “Weiner produced a video presentation of as his contribution to Schum’s second television exhibition, ‘Identifications,’ which was broadcast on West German television on November 30, 1970. The 36-minute program featured short films and videos by 20 American and European artists, including Joseph Beuys, Daniel Buren, Gilbert & George, Mario Merz and Richard Serra. In Weiner’s 50-second black-and-white video, which was shot by Schum on the Dutch coast, each phrase appears in white letters on a black background and is followed by footage of the artist executing a corresponding action: he walks toward the sea (TO THE SEA); he places a log on the sea (ON THE SEA); he picks up the floating log and brings it back to the beach (FROM THE SEA); he stands on the beach with the log (AT THE SEA); finally, he walks away from the camera along the sea (BORDERING THE SEA). The soundtrack consists of only the sound of breaking waves.”⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Edited with text by Francesca Esmay, Ted Mann, Jeffrey Weiss.
