[Frameworks] Video works unviewable due to lost apparatus?

[Fred Truniger]

Hi there
there's been a show in the Kunstmuseum Lucerne (Switzerland) in 2008 with video-art from the 70ies and 80ies (Swiss Video) curated by a group of art historians and restaurators. the catalogue has texts also on the difficulties of presenting such work after 20-30 years. there is an english version of this with the ISBN 978-3-03764-053-1.
it's been published through jrp ringier and distributed also in the US.

Schubiger, Irene: Schweizer Videokunst der 1970er und 1980er Jahre. Eine Rekonstruktion.

cheers!

I've tried to search the list unable to find any information. Does anyone know of this and have a decent (preferable academically scrutinize-able) source for it?
