Whiter the Alternative Space, 2005, DVD

Binding, Editions, Size:
35-minute DVD

Description:
A 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.

In 2010, Martha Wilson, founding director of Franklin Furnace, wrote, “Appropriation was new in 1980. Barbara, Louise and Sherrie photographed four page spreads of a book by Alberto Moravia, framing this centerfold with the questions, “What do we own?” and “What is the same?” Simon & Shuster, Alberto Moravia’s publisher, found out about our Flue containing more than the allowable amount of text that could be published without permission, and sent Franklin Furnace a bill for $50.00. This small amount of money nevertheless challenged our budget, and I made the later regrettable decision to publish this issue of the Flue on newsprint.”
Also includes an interview by Clive Phillpot and Lynne Tillman with Charles Henri Ford, curator of part two of The Pages As Alternative Space, 1930-49; an article by Jon Hendricks and Barbara Moore, curators of part three of The Page as Alternative Space, 1950-69; and Franklin Furnace news.
