Reading Response #3

Lea Collet; Introduction to Video Art

Collet takes an expansive approach to the ever evolving works classified as video art. Breaking the genre into subsets and the significant creators to prop up her delineations. Her writing does a fantastic job at looking at just innovative and exploratory video based artifacts can be. From the work of Bruce Nauman in the 60’s working off simple repetitive movements and the tense sounds of a metronome to the installations of Dara Birnbaum exquisitely crafted that use screens as both conveyance an mediums in their own right. As with most forms of visual art some immediately capture my attention while others I’d just assume stroll past without much thought. Being a kid of the MTV sphere, in its original manifestation, the combinations of music and moving images, I’m pulled towards magnetically. The piece featured in this article by Arthur Jafa captivated me and I watched it multiple times. His use of both still, moving images, pop culture and historical references, paint both familiar and alien landscapes. A world that I feel to know and then only able look at from a undoubtably outside position that carry’s a sense of shame and sadness, while marked with points of joy. Additionally the works of Eulalia Valldosera and Danielle Dean where props and cast light create the sculptural silhouettes that define the piece and push the mode of video beyond your initial dispositions. Throughout all the examples that Collet examines it is the pieces that use both screen and space to create experience and the marriage of music and movement with message that I found the most gravitating. Trying to find a voice within a foreign landscape, using both technology and implement that I find foreign are lighting my brain up like a Griswold Christmas tree and am excited to find a means of expressing my practice through video .

Paul McCarthy; I don’t really jive with his video work as much as his other pieces I had to mention him.

the worst part of the snob/anti-intellectualism/etc debate is the insistence that no one is actually watching art movies or anything not instantly accessible....or, conversely, that art movies are less accessible than Captain Dipshit 3: The Mega Crossover, & the remaining implication that there’s something like suspicious or pretentious about doing something with a creative medium besides strict 1:1 representation. anyway here’s some stuff i enjoy that’s available to watch for free on Ubuweb:

Hollis Frampton - Zorns Lemma (systems, repetition, vernacular)

Marie Menken - Glimpse of the Garden (🌼🐦:))

Frances Stark - I’m Just About to Lose My Mind (cats!)

Nam June Paik - Lake Placid ‘80 (sports!)

Ulysses S. Jenkins - Inconsequential Doggereal (a refusal to be legible. romance? 🏈)

Richard Serra - Hand Catching Lead (how it is when you. when it’s. you know?)

[webionaire]

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT VIDEO ART that calls for grand theories and epic summations, wild pronouncements and heroic declarations. It’s exciting to see a new technology appear in one’s lifetime and to feel some kind of ownership over it, to see it for what it is or, even more importantly, what it did—how it cut through the world. And since video is, or was, so closely related to television and what used to be called the mass media—it was either its intimate underbelly or a guerrilla weapon made to combat it—its value seemed to go unquestioned. The most important artists wrestled with it (Lynda Benglis, Dara Birnbaum, Nam June Paik, Ulysses Jenkins, Joan Jonas, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson); some of the best writers took it on (David Antin, Allan Kaprow, Rosalind Krauss, Anne Wagner)

[blackcurators]

This is a documentary of David Hammons prior to his leaving the Los Angeles arts community. This video covers the artist's creative strategies at that time. It served as both an interview and video performance by David Hammons. This video has rarely been seen.
