Exhibitions: 1999
Video Impact
September 25, 1999 - January
03, 2000
Video Impact, the
third outdoor video exhibition is a satellite of the exhibition
Impact: Revealing Sources for
Contemporary Art in the Museum’s new permanent
facility. Video Impact offers works representing
pioneering video artists and significant video achievements
from the last thirty years. Dara Birnbaum’s, “Technology/Transformation:
Wonder Woman” (1978-79) combines a critique of popular
media with an exploration of feminist transformation. Gary
Hill, whose early work explored the nature of the video medium
and the relation between image and language, is represented
by “Windows” (1978), a work depicting densely
layered images of windows forming abstract compositions.
Joan Jonas’s, “Vertical Role” (1972), a
germinal work in the history of video, depicts an interrupted
electronic signal - or “vertical role” - to portray
the disjointed representation of women’s identity.
In “The Way Things Go” (1987), Fischli and Weiss
create an unending series of sight gags in kinetic installations
using everyday objects.
Artists included in the exhibition:
Dara Birnbaum, Fischli and Weiss, Gary Hill, Joan Jonas. |
