[Frameworks] Major exhibitions of moving image art

Fri May 19 13:25:33 UTC 2017

Hi Ben,

I may have missed these but I don't think anyone's mentioned Steve Anker, Kathy Geritz, Steve Seid's Radical Light, Pacific Film Archive, 2010, or Form and Structure in Recent Film at the Vancouver Art Gallery, 1972, or Helen Molesworth's Image Stream at the Wexner Center, 2003, or Annette Michelson's New Forms in Film, Montreux, 1974. I saw a wonderful big survey of video art in Tokyo in 2009, Waiting for Video: Works From the 1960s to Today, National Museum of Modern Art at the top of the Mori Tower, I think. It included canonical Western and less-known, but comparable Asian work.

I hope you and Joanna are well!!
Best wishes,

Hi all,

I'm interested in gathering a list of film/video-based art exhibitions in
the United States, UK, Europe and rest of the world. I was wondering if
anyone might have suggestions of any exhibitions (recent or old) that were
focused on a broad survey of moving image art.

Obviously many exhibitions, such as documenta or the Venice Biennale, have
exhibited some form of moving images or experimental media. But for my
purposes, I'm interested only in shows that focus on the moving image as
the central theme, not as a component of a larger thematic whole.

An example might be the recent show at the Whitney Museum, *Dreamlands:
Immersive Cinema and Art, 1905-2016* or *Into the Light: The Projected
Image in American Art, 1964-1977*, both curated by Chrissie Iles. Another
example of this on a much smaller scale would be *Renegades: American
Avant-Garde Film, 1960-1973*, at the Walker Center of the Arts.

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
Ben

Hi Ben, off the top of my head, here are some other shows that come to mind: my own ‘Signs of the Times: Film, Video and Slide Tape in British Art in the 1980s’ (1990), and ‘Scream and Scream Again: Film in Art’ (1996), both group survey shows of the moving image that I curated at the Museum of Modern Art Oxford, U.K. A few others include: ‘Celluloid’ and ‘Found Footage: Cinema Exposed’ (2012), both at the Eye Film Museum, Amsterdam (2016), ‘Hall of Mirrors: Art and Film since 1945’ (1996), and ‘Visual Music’ (2005) both curated by Kerry Brougher at LA MOCA, ‘The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving Image’ at the Hirshhorn museum, Washington, also curated by Kerry Brougher (2008), ‘Monter/Sampler’ at the Pompidou Center, Paris (2000), ‘X-Screen’ at Mumok in Vienna (2003), ‘Beyond Cinema: The Art of Projection’ at the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, curated by Stan Douglas and Christopher Eamon (2006), ‘Seeing Time’ at SF MOMA (2000), ‘The Dissolve’ at Site Santa Fe, curated by Sarah Lewis and Daniel Belasco (2010), ‘Electronic Superhighway’ at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, curated by Omar Kholeif (2016). There have also been a number of shows curated at ZKM Karlsruhe addressing the moving image in different ways, and some other historical shows include Wolf Herzogenrath’s ‘Video Skuptur: Retrospektiv und Aktuell 1963-1989’ show at the Cologne Kunstverein (1989) and ‘Projected Images’ curated by Martin Friedman at the Walker Art Center (1974), and John Hanhardt’s group show of film installations at the Whitney in 1979, as well as, of course, Jonas Mekas’s Expanded Cinema Festival at the Cinematheque in New York (1966). There are numerous books of course, including catalogues for the above shows; one comes to mind that I think might be helpful for your research: ‘OEI: On Film’, in Swedish and English, mapping out film in Sweden, with extensive analyses of experimental filmmakers’ processes. It’s a beautiful book that might not be so well known but would help your research I think.
Hope this is useful.
Chrissie

To Chrissie’s impressive list I’d add Pompidou’s Le Mouvement des Images (2006-7) that found parallels in works from the Seventh Art with strategies and concerns in the other (modern/contemporary) arts. It included a fair number of (proper) experimental filmmakers (e.g., Brakhage, Rose Lowder) alongside gallery folks like Rodney Graham. An outline of the show (without a ton of details about individual works) can be found here: https://www.centrepompidou.fr/cpv/resource/cn6eXo/r8K9ao

I believe Pip was involved in some way in the installation of that show, so he might be a better source of information about it than I am.

FYI (from Paris, on my way to Pompidou in a few hours),
Roger
