History of Performance According to Me, 2005, Martha Wilson. 20-minute DVD of a slide lecture presented in June of 2005 at the Baltic Center for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, UK, by Franklin Furnace's Founding Director, Martha Wilson, on the occasion of the "History of Disappearance" exhibition drawn from Franklin Furnace's archives. The lecture proposes Futurism as the cradle of performance art and follows the avant-garde art practice through Dadaism and Constructivism and on to contemporary work. Ms. Wilson discusses performance in the contexts of confrontation, the body as medium and site, and time-based practice. Artists discussed include Laurie Anderson, Paul Burwell, Dara Birnbaum, Eric Bogosian, Ken Butler, Guy de Cointet, Dead Dog and Lonley Horse, Karen Finley, Bob Flanagan, Cheri Gaulke, Mel Gordon, Frank Green, Ann Hamilton, Donna Henes, Julia Heyward, Tehching Hsieh, Ichi Ikeda, Annie Iobst/Lucy Sexton, Ray Johnson, Joan Jonas, Jill Kroesen, Robbie McCauley, Frank Moore, Peggy Pettit, Gina Pane, Rachael Rosenthal, Judy Rifka, Linda Sibio, Theodora Skipitares, Michael Smith, Fiona Templeton, and William Wegman.

Whiter the Alternative Space, 2005, Martha Wilson. 35-minute DVD of a slide-lecture by Franklin Furnace's Founding Director, Martha Wilson, presented in June, 2005 at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, UK, on the occasion of the "History of Disappearance" show drawn from the archives of Franklin Furnace. Martha Wilson delves into the oscillating history of the alternative space using her Franklin Furnace experiences as the model. Vaulting off the famous Futurist clocktower showdown in Venice, she moves from the idea of the page as an artspace and the tenet of performative work as interactive art, through the culture wars of the 1980s and 1990s, to the nebulous crossroads of netcasts and cyber art. Along the way, slides of work by artists such as Dara Birnbaum, the Blue Man Group, Willie Cole, Marcel Duchamp, Sherman Fleming/Kristine Stiles, Karen Finley, Yvette Helin, Halona Hilbertz, Jenny Holzer, Tari Ito, Tina Keane, El Lisitzky, Daniel Martinez, Ana Mendieta, Susan Mogul, Scarlet O, Claes Oldenburg, Andrea Polli, Jill Scott, Annie Sprinkle, Jocelyn Taylor, Jack Waters, Robert Wilson, Nora York, and Dolores Zorreguieta animate the story. Red, black and white jewel box & jacket ($300; $100 for institutions).
