Jaime Davidovich, FF Alumn, In Memoriam

TELEVISION
Jaime Davidovich, Artist Whose Videos Bypassed the ‘Gatekeepers of Culture,’ Dies at 79
By WILLIAM GRIMES
AUG. 30, 2016
Jaime Davidovich, an Argentine-born conceptual artist who brought the downtown New York art scene to television viewers in the early 1980s on his cable-access program “The Live! Show,” died on Saturday at his home in Manhattan. He was 79.
The cause was pancreatic cancer, Henrique Faria, his art dealer, said.
Mr. Davidovich, a fervent avant-gardist who had moved to New York from Buenos Aires in 1963, embraced video technology as an ideal medium for disrupting the gallery system and reaching new audiences.
In 1976, he and several other artists formed Cable SoHo, a nonprofit consortium of artists and arts organizations interested in public-access broadcasting that evolved into the Artists’ Television Network. With Mr. Davidovich as president and executive producer, the network began broadcasting “SoHo TV”, a weekly arts magazine, on Manhattan Cable Television, which at the time had 80,000 subscribers. “The Live! Show” premiered in 1979.
“We were artists trying to get around the gatekeepers of culture and the art market by putting our work out there for public consumption for free,” Mr. Davidovich said in an oral history interview for the Museum of the Moving Image in 2011. “Now a lot of people work that way.”
“The Live! Show” was inspired, Mr. Davidovich said, by Cabaret Voltaire, the Dadaist nightclub in Zurich, and the media meta-comedy of Ernie Kovacs. It featured skits, cartoons, music videos, performances and interviews with artists like Laurie Anderson, John Cage and the theater director Richard Foreman.
As Dr. Videovich, “specialist in curing television addiction,” Mr. Davidovich, dressed in a white lab coat, fielded calls from viewers, introduced ersatz commercials and, in a segment called “Videokitsch,” sold odd pieces of store-bought merchandise and limited-edition objects of his own design, like television sets in the form of savings banks, cookie jars, planters and windup toys. The New York Times television critic John J. O’Connor described Mr. Davidovich’s alter ego as “a persona somewhere between Bela Lugosi and Andy Kaufman.”
In an interview, Daniel R. Quiles, the curator of “Outreach: Jaime Davidovich, 1974-1984” at the Threewalls Gallery in Chicago in 2015, called him “one of the really key pioneers of public access cable, and its relationship to advanced art in the 1970s.”
Jaime Davidovich was born on Sept. 29, 1936, in Buenos Aires. His parents, Lucio Davidovich and the former Clara Jacif, were Jews who had been brought from what is now Ukraine when they were children. He studied art at the National College in Buenos Aires and the University of the Republic in Montevideo, Uruguay, before moving to New York, where he studied painting at the School of Visual Arts.
He explored texture and surface in his canvases, notably in his “Pizarrónes Negros” (“Blackboards”) paintings, a series of large canvases covered in black, brushy planes of color.
“What I wanted to do was to capture an instant in painting that does not have a beginning or an end,” he later said. “When I began to work with video this translated into the delimiting of a frame for something that keeps moving but never ends.”
In 1965 he married the artist Judith Henry, with whom he founded Wooster Enterprises, a stationery design studio affiliated with the Fluxus group. The marriage ended in divorce. He is survived by two sisters, Leda Davidovich and Celia Nesis; two daughters, Nina Litvak and Carla Davidovich; and five grandchildren.
From the outset, he showed a conceptual bent. To integrate his paintings into the conceptual space of the gallery, he removed their frames and applied them directly to the wall with tape. Then, in a series of site-specific works called the Tapes Projects, he began using tape itself as his medium. For the 1973 Whitney Biennial he connected the floors of the museum by running wide swaths of adhesive tape up and down the museum’s stairway walls.
By then he had already made his first foray into video. His first work in the medium, “Road” (1972), put the tape aesthetic into motion, following a highway dividing line for 20 minutes. In “Blue, Red, Yellow,” a hand reached out to cover television screens in colored tape.
“The Live! Show” ended its run in 1984 when Manhattan Cable raised the price of broadcast time. It was the subject of a retrospective at the American Museum of the Moving Image (now the Museum of the Moving Image) in 1991.
Mr. Davidovich then returned to his own art. He addressed politics in Argentina in “Evita: A Video Scrapbook” (1984) and “Eva Perón, Then and Now” (1990), and constructed temporary video theaters within museums and galleries, notably Exit Art and El Museo del Barrio in Manhattan.
Mr. Davidovich, who was represented by Henrique Faria Fine Art in Manhattan and Buenos Aires, was given a retrospective at Artium, the contemporary art museum in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, in 2010. Last year, the Bronx Museum of the Arts featured his work in “Jaime Davidovich: Adventures of the Avant-Garde.”
Correction: August 30, 2016
An earlier version of this obituary misspelled the name of a character Mr. Davidovich played on television. He was Dr. Videovich, not Dr. Videovitch. The error was repeated in an accompanying picture caption.

“From moving frames to turning pages”
a conversation with Martha Wilson, William Stover, and Marit Følstad
New York Art Book Fair,
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1:00 – 2:00 pm
MoMA PS1
Can ephemeral installations and time-based media art be translated or transcribed into the space of a publication? What challenges, methods and strategies can the artist turn to?
Indexicality is a phenomenon far broader than language. Defying individual interpretation, the index refers back to a phenomenon – such as smoke as a possible index of fire. The panel will discuss the role of indexing or indexicality as a method of the artistic bookmaking process.
In conjunction with the launch of her new book The Marble Index, artist Marit Følstad is joined in conversation with curator William Stover, founding director of Franklin Furnace Archive, and artist Martha Wilson. Presented by Teknisk Industri.
Martha Wilson is a pioneering feminist artist and art space director, who over the past four decades created innovative photographic and video works that explore her female subjectivity. In 1976 she founded Franklin Furnace, an artist-run space that champions the exploration, promotion and preservation of artist books, temporary installation, performance art, as well as online works.
William Stover has been a curator of contemporary art for over 16 years and has held positions in a number of important and diverse institutions including the Carnegie Museum of Art, New Museum of Contemporary Art, Independent Curators International, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Stover is currently an independent curator and consultant to private collections in New York City.
Marit Følstad is a Norwegian artist. Her practice encompasses video, sound, performance, sculpture and installation. Følstad received her education from the Art Institute of Chicago. She was a recipient of a Fulbright grant. Følstad has participated in exhibitions in venues such as The Hood Museum of Art (New Hampshire), Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (Arizona), Palm Beach ICA (Florida), Sculpture Center, (New York), Malmø Art Museum (Sweden), Norwich Gallery of Art (UK) as well as The National Museum of Art (Norway).
Teknisk Industri is a Norwegian based publisher established by Petter Snare. Since the company’s conception as an art publisher in 2008, Teknisk Industri has gained a reputation for publishing high quality art books in both print and design. The company has published some 25 books, mainly presenting Norwegian artists.

6. Bob Lens, FF Alumn, new catalogue, Verbeke Foundation, Belgium
Bob Lens Plastic Bag/PB Art at the Verbeke Foundation, Belgium.
During the summer Bob Lens has a presentation of his¨The Plastc Bag” expo at the Verbeke Foundation in Kemzeke, Belgium.
Visual artist Lens has explored, besides his other activities, the PB in all its qualities for more than thirty years, for him the product acts as a canvas.
In the 1980´s he was successful with PB exhibitions in Rotterdam at the Lijnbaancentrum, Middelburg Art Center and Franklin Furnace New York.
At the invitation of the Verbeke Foundation Bob Lens is showing a retrospective view augmented with new work: his Censure- and Text Bags.
The PB as a commercial vehicle is censored and stripped of its original obtrusive message by painted interventions. The Text Bags show drawings of seemingly random words and sentences. Deeply influenced by Fluxus they are concentrated scores meant to provoke and challenge the spectator.
Of equal importance is his Boomerang Project, introduced in 1982 during the exhibition at the Lijnbaancentrum, Rotterdam, Lens handed out specially prepared bags to his artist friends with the invitation to work on it.
The stunning results include contributions by artists like John Baldessari, Keith Haring, Jackson MacLow, Takehisa Kosugi, Ben Vautier and many others.
An illustrated catalogue for the recent exhibition is published by the Verbeke Foundation.

Alison Knowles’s computerized poem of 1967, The House of Dust, her subsequent built structures of the same name and the many works it generated are the focus of this presentation. Documentation of Knowles’s poem and built structures, discussions, publications, and performances are presented in dialogue with other artworks from the period-predominantly by Knowles and other Fluxus artists-exploring the nexus of art, poetry, technology and architecture in ways that resonate with The House of Dust.
In addition, her prescient yet under-recognized project has been an inspiration for contemporary artists’ and architects’ responsive artworks and spatial interpretations included in the exhibition. Reactivating the pedagogical model proposed by The House of Dust, this project is the outcome of collaboration between artists and scholars.

THE GUERRILLA GIRLS AND LA BARBE
EXHIBITION
September 9 – November 12, 2016
OPENING
Thursday September 8, from 6pm to 9pm
In the presence of The Guerrilla Girls and La Barbe.
CONVERSATION
Friday September 9, from 2pm to 6pm, Maison des Auteurs at 7 rue Ballu, 75009 Paris.
We are delighted to invite you to the opening of the exhibition of The Guerrilla Girls and La Barbe, on Thursday September 8, from 6pm to 9pm at mfc-michèle didier gallery.
Since 1985, The Guerrilla Girls unceasingly create poster campaigns, handouts, leaflets and other ephemera in the aim of “opening the public eye to the discrimination which reigns within our very phallo and ethnocentric artistic institutions”*.
La Barbe is a group of feminists whose goal is to “render visible masculine domination in the highest spheres of power, in all the domains of professional, political and cultural life by ridiculing their codes, their values and their group spirit”**.
The exhibition will be the occasion to show graphic devices conceived by The Guerrilla Girls (posters, banners…). These documents allow to trace their history and to apprehend the specific aesthetic of the artists’ group. Moreover, their book The Hysterical Herstory of Hysteria and How It Was Cured, produced and published by mfc-michèle didier will be presented in preview.
Panels, tracts and beards used during interventions by La Barbe will be also displayed. A beard-making workshop and a life-size photo-panel – into which visitors are invited to insert their head for a photo opportunity, confirming their support for the group – will be provided to visitors.
Click for the press release: press release.
We stay at your disposal to answer your questions by mail at info@micheledidier.com or by telephone at +33 (0)1 71 27 34 41.
We are looking forward to welcoming you at the gallery at the opening.
On Friday September 9 from 2pm to 6pm the gallery is pleased to organize a conversation with The Guerrilla Girls, La Barbe, Deborah De Robertis and Femen. This conversation will be held at the Maison des Auteurs: 7 rue Ballu, 75009 Paris.
Marc Donnadieu, Fabienne Dumont and Camille Morinneau will intervene during the meeting.
A translator will allow to anglophone speakers to talk in their language. A sign language translator will be present too.

Walker Evans: The Magazine Work, curated by David Campany
Sherrie Levine: African Masks After Walker Evans
Patrick Pound: Documentary Intersect
Sonya Lacey: Newspaper for Vignelli
The Adam Art Gallery is pleased to present a series of exhibitions that examine the circulation of images through the formats of the magazine, the newspaper, the book, and the postcard, to test and expand models of authorship and reflect upon the place and status of photography and printed matter within the history of art.
Central to the series is Walker Evans: The Magazine Work, a touring exhibition curated by David Campany, which has been re-conceived for this occasion. The show brings together vintage copies of the magazines to which Walker Evans contributed and presents these alongside largescale digital prints of his photo-essays. It aims to expand knowledge of the great modernist photographer by addressing this lesser-known aspect of his career, exploring how Evans worked for various American magazines conceiving, shooting, editing, writing, and designing stories in what Campany has called a “resistant counter-commentary on American society and its values.”
Walker Evans’s work is juxtaposed with a new series of photographs by leading American artist Sherrie Levine, whose photographs “after Walker Evans” produced in the early 1980s were definitive for the appropriative strategies of the highly influential “Pictures Generation.” African Masks After Walker Evans, 2014, re-presents a set of 24 images drawn from the more than 600 Evans took of objects in MoMA’s 1935 exhibition African Negro Art. These were shot on commission to supplement Evans’s meagre income and have only recently been reassessed as important components of his photographic oeuvre. Levine’s project not only allows viewers to assess Evans’s contribution to the re-evaluation of African art that was a hallmark of the modernist era, but it also invites reconsideration of her own position vis-à-vis his canonical status as a modernist exemplar.
Melbourne-based Patrick Pound’s exhibition Documentary Intersect also liberally appropriates readymade images. Pound’s collecting habits are voracious, and here we see his ongoing interest in creating typologies through arranging items according to shared content; “tears,” “floral clocks,” “crime scenes,” “sleepers,” and so on. Laying these out in linear sequences, Pound discovers points of intersection to create complex grids of structured yet chaotic imagery. One such sequence-a series of postcards of San Francisco’s famous “Cliff House”-strategically connects his work to Walker Evans, who likewise was a keen collector of picture postcards, and who features a postcard of this same structure in his photo-essay “Come on Down” in Architectural Forum, July 1962.
Finally, Wellington-artist Sonya Lacey’s 16mm film Newspaper for Vignelli is a series of tracking shots which tail the pages of a newspaper as they continually tumble just-out-of-reach within a gusty outdoor setting. The newspaper is Lacey’s carefully constructed facsimile of the European Journal (1978), a proposed-but-never-published newspaper designed by the well-known modernist graphic designers Massimo and Lella Vignelli. While only Vignelli’s mockup of his cover survives, Lacey has imagined the journal’s complete contents, recreating their signature gridded blocks, uniformly scaled titles and bold sans-serif headers. Casting this design into a turbulent environment, she considers the fate of “good” design in a world of commercial imperatives.

Enacting the Text: Performing with Words
Organized by Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful, artist and Independent Curator
While performative art practice, with all of its nuances, remains largely fleeting, a significant number of artists, working mainly in interventions, performances, situations, and experiences, have generated a substantial material culture. Whether drafting steps for an action, making lists of performance materials, or giving directions for participants, the use of written language becomes a recurrent element in the enactment of the practice. This exhibition gives center stage to artist books, letters, notes, scripts, and texts produced side-by-side to ,or in complicity with, these short-lived gestures.
Artists included: María Alós, Josefina Báez, Paco Cao, Papo Colo, Billy X. Curmano, Irina Danilova, Jean-Ulrick Désert, Lesley Dill, Coco Fusco, Beatrice Glow, Alicia Grullón, Guerilla Girls, Pablo Helguera, Nancy Hwang, Alison Knowles, LuLu LoLo, Linda Mary Montano, Pat Oleszko, Pedro Pietri, Praxis (Brainard and Delia Carey), Quintín Rivera-Toro, Jack Smith, Elizabeth M.Stephens and Annie Sprinkle, Cecilia Vicuña, and Martha Wilson.

18. Doreen Garner, FF Alumn, at Essex Flowers, Manhattan, opening Sept. 9
Essex Flowers
Removing the Veil: Vanity as Material for Incision
Doreen Garner
September 9th – October 9th, 2016.
Opening Reception: September 9th, 6-8pm
Curated by Kendra Jayne Patrick
For her solo exhibition with Essex Flowers, Doreen Garner synthesizes abstract and figurative form in sculptural works which examine the paradox of vanity. Garner has named incision as her guiding sculptural gesture, and thus she’s cleaved, refashioned, and re-fastened female body parts, exploiting them to the limits of their material aesthetic potential. Such literal objectification threads beauty, value, and utility, and each work presents a different angle of the purgatory they combine to create.
Essex Flowers is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Doreen Garner’s work in New York City. Garner received her Master of Fine Arts in Glass from Rhode Island School of Design in 2014, the same year she completed a residency at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She is a resident at Pioneerworks through 2017, following consecutive residencies at the Abrons Arts Space (2015-2016), and S12 Glass studio in Bergen, Norway (2015).

I want invite you to FDIC Insured, an exhibition that opens in NYC on Sept 15th, from 6-8PM.
As some of you know, since 2008, I have collected the logos of all the failed US banks. These logos are supposed to represent the power and stability of our financial institutions, and yet they are quickly erased from our collective memory.
I have been saving them. And burning them into cast off financial books with a laser cutter. Failed banks for failed books. After 8 years, I am showing all 527 of them in a recently vacated office suite off Wall St. A memorial of sorts. I’ve been working on this install from afar while at MacDowell.
Join me at 40 Rector St #1500 from 6-8PM on September 15th, the anniversary of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. The show will stay up through Christmas bonus season. Art in America has more info: http://www.artinamericamagazine.com/news-features/interviews/market-research-an-interview-with-michael-mandiberg/
If you are not available the 15th, or visiting NYC later in the fall, it will be open 1-5PM Friday & Saturday. Or email me at Michael@Mandiberg.com and we can find a time I can show it to you.

25. Roberley Bell, FF Alumn, at BT&C Gallery, Buffalo, NY, opening Sept. 9
Early One Morning: Roberley Bell
September 9 – October 22, 2016
BT&C Gallery announces Early One Morning, a solo exhibition of work by Roberley Bell, opening Friday, September 9th with a reception 6-9pm. The exhibition will remain on view through October 22nd. NEW gallery hours are Fridays 12-7 pm & select Saturdays 12-4 pm during exhibitions. BT&C Gallery is also open anytime by appointment (716- 604-6183).
Early One Morning will include both sculpture and photographic work by Roberley Bell.
Bell is best known for sculptural and installation work that creates a dialogue between
our interior and exterior worlds, as well as nature and its synthetic likeness. In this
installation, the second solo exhibition of Bell’s work at BT&C to date, the focus will be
Bell’s more intimate sculpture, paired with photographic work from a project titled
Universal Color.
The exhibition title, “Early One Morning”, offers a poetic frame for the show, references
the history of sculpture and relates to issues that are at the heart of Bell’s thinking
process. The title is borrowed from a 1962 sculpture by Sir Anthony Caro (1924-2013)-
a large-scale, brightly painted, geometric steel sculpture that sits directly on the floor.
The bold vermillion of Caro’s piece serves to unify the elements as well as boldly
announce itself- strategies admired and used by Bell. The title also serves to reference
a moment in time- it grounds the sculpture and the show in a temporal zone of
reflection.
Included in Early One Morning, and continuing the artist’s exploration of color, is a
series of images of towels in Istanbul that Bell began creating in 2010. Bell explains the
project as “a quest for looking for the overlooked.” She continues:
I roamed the city in search of a mundane aspect in order to expose the other
color, which is not readily seen. The towels hung to dry in front of every
barbershop in every neighborhood became my colors of Istanbul. Each image
reveals not only the colorful towels, but the surrounding environment that seeps
in around the edges, exposing the everydayness of the street life of the city.
These photographs serve as still lifes capturing a moment in time in transition.
The result is a common scene, at least to the average Turkish person- a sort of street
still life full of found color. The prints are done on a lush watercolor paper, a 6.5 x 9 inch
image floating in a sea of white. Bell was thinking about Pantone’s color system when
capturing these images and during her process has matched the colors of the towels to
Pantone numbers. Using the idea of universal color, this project for Bell became a way
of cataloguing our visual world. Further, the use of the universal Pantone color system
provides a link between the specificity of locale and the collective universal.
Also included is Bell’s continuation in a series of small sculpture, titled some things,
which began in 2014 and was the focus of a Spring 2015 solo exhibition at BT&C of the
same name. These small works are meditations for Bell- initially thought of as mental
preparation for large-scale work, the series has evolved into a practice in and of itself
opening new avenues for investigation of the boundary between color and form. The
some things are an extension of the themes explored in Bell’s larger body of work yet,
because of their scale combined with the artistic process, there is a palpable spontaneity
inherent in these works- a quirky liveliness. At a 2015 residency at Chesterwood, the
summer home/studio and gardens of the American sculptor Daniel Chester French in
Stockbridge, MA, Bell completed a projected titled Object a Day where she created a
sculptural response to her surroundings (sometimes physically incorporating sticks and
rocks collected on site) for thirty consecutive days. Just like the Universal Color project,
in Object a Day, artistic creation became a way to journal sights and experiences- a
way to visually mark time and place. These sculptural responses, a sort of visual diary,
left Chesterwood for Bell’s upstate New York studio where the artist continued to work
on them. The Object a Day exercise was the beginning of more in Bell’s some things
series, as she has continued to work on them over time. Many of these finished
sculptures are to be included in Early One Morning.
Also included are a handful of Bell’s latest floor pieces- a series that the artist
considers as still lifes. These works directly relate to the some things through use of
color, physicality and relatively intimate scale. They are delicate amalgams of many
media, thoughtfully constructed and balanced. In many ways they are more quietly
subtle than Bell’s past large-scale work of boldly colored organic abstraction, but equally
as forceful in the ideas and feelings they communicate to the viewer.
Concurrent with Early One Morning is an exterior installation of Bell’s work at Tift
Nature Preserve, Buffalo as part of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s Public Art Initiative in collaboration with Tift and the Buffalo Museum of Science. Visit the Albright-Knox’s
website for more information: http://www.albrightknox.org/collection/publicart/

SCHOOL FOR REVOLUTIONARY GIRLS
A project with Nicola Goode and Liz Gillis
August 12 – 28, 2016
Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin
The School for Revolutionary Girls is a ten day project with twenty teenage girls who will explore their relationship to the 1916 Rising of the Irish revolution and to contemporary issues facing young women in Ireland and around the world. This artistic “consciousness-raising” process combines group discussion, performance, social media and a reading of manifestos in the courtyard of the museum. Working with historians, international students, Irish and US artists, and CREATE, they will imagine the world as it is, and will be, developing creative expressions of their own unique “public voice.” This is a project of The Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) and Grizedale Arts in the context of A Fair Land, a project that aims to develop a system for living using basic and simple resources used in a creative way.

THE CIRCLE AND THE SQUARE
A Performance with Ron Penn, Mao Mollona, Paul Hartley and Rauf Bashir
October 1, 2016
The former Smith and Nephew Textile Mill, Brierfield, Lancashire, United Kingdom
The Circle and the Square is a year-long project exploring social cohesion between white and Asian heritage British people in a small town in the economically challenged area of Pendle in Northwest England. The commission by Super Slow Way will culminate in a performance involving 500 people, held in the magnificent and large-scale former mill. The performance engages the entire community in a video production featuring traditional chanting and music from two disparate geographic regions. This event signals a critical juncture in the region’s history, symbolized by the planned regeneration of the Mill and an uncertain future, a post-Brexit era between a past of manufacturing jobs and a future where residents must work to rebuild the local economy and deepen community connections.

END OF THE WORLD
An exhibition at the Luigi Pecci Center for Contemporary Art in Prato, Italy
Opening October 16, 2016
The Pecci Center will reopen on October 16, 2016 with an exhibition entitled The End of the World, curated by director Fabio Cavallucci who explains the title: “Apart from the title, the exhibition is not a catastrophic one, but focused on the concept that the present world has reached its end. What has so far seemed new and attractive, now appears geological ages away from our possible future.”
In this group exhibition, Lacy will present a video installation from her most recent large-scale performance, de tu puño y letra (By Our Own Hand). Performed in Quito, Ecuador on November 25, 2015 – the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women¬ – the performance in Plaza Belmonte, one of the oldest bullrings in Quito, brought together 350 men who participated by reading letters on violence, written by actual women throughout Ecuador.

A Feast of Astonishments: Charlotte Moorman and the Avant-Garde, 1960s-1980s
First major exhibition devoted to critical but under-recognized figure in postwar avant-garde, dubbed the “topless cellist.”
September 8-December 10, 2016
A Feast of Astonishments: Charlotte Moorman and the Avant-Garde, 1960s-1980s is the first exhibition to explore the vital contributions of one of the most overlooked figures of her generation. On view at New York University’s Grey Art Gallery from September 8 to December 10, 2016, the show illuminates how Charlotte Moorman (1933-1991) metamorphosed from a classically trained cellist into a barrier-breaking figure in performance art and an impresario of the postwar avant-garde. Included among the more than 300 items on view-artworks, film clips, music scores, audio recordings, documentary photographs, snapshots, performance props and costumes, ephemera, and correspondence-are 5 cello-based sculptural works that Moorman herself created.
For three decades beginning in 1960, Moorman’s dedication to a radically new approach to music and art took many forms, some extreme, from playing the cello while suspended by helium balloons over the Sydney Opera House to performing in the nude on an “ice cello.” Reflecting Moorman’s commitment to finding ways to bring new art to the broadest possible public, including producing events literally in the streets of New York, A Feast of Astonishments features dozens of photographs of Moorman’s performances from the 1960s through 1980s, ephemera related to her organization of the New York Avant Garde Festivals between 1963 and 1980, and sculptures and musical scores by Nam June Paik, her frequent collaborator. The vast majority of the objects in the exhibition have never before been exhibited. Together, they offer fresh insights into Moorman’s improbable career in the heady, event-filled decades of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
A Feast of Astonishments was organized by the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, in partnership with Northwestern’s Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections, home to the Charlotte Moorman Archive.
“Some artists manage to uncannily embody in their work the key concerns of their times. Charlotte Moorman numbers among them,” notes Lynn Gumpert, the Grey’s director. “It’s very fitting that this show is presented at NYU’s Grey Art Gallery, as much of Moorman’s groundbreaking work took place here in New York City.” Lisa Corrin adds, “Charlotte Moorman is mainly remembered as a muse to Nam June Paik, but she was much more. In light of her influence on contemporary performance and her role as an unequaled popularizer of the avant-garde, appreciation of her role as a seminal figure in her own right is long overdue.”
Exhibition
A Feast of Astonishments is presented in four loosely chronological sections. The Early Years explores the beginnings of Moorman’s career in the early to mid-1960s. After moving to New York to study at the Julliard School in 1957, Moorman, who was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, became increasingly drawn to the experimental art and music of the avant-garde scene then evolving in SoHo. This section highlights her transformation from Julliard-trained cellist to radical artist. It includes photographs and publicity shots of her cello performances, as well as programs for recitals by cutting-edge artists working in downtown New York City. A flyer for Yoko Ono’s first major solo concert of experimental music lists Moorman, who helped produce the show and also performed in it, as “personal manager for Miss Ono.”
The second section, Repertoire, details the works Moorman performed repeatedly throughout her career. Providing context for John Cage’s 26’1.1499″ for a String Player-a seminal work that she played in venues ranging from orchestra halls to The Tonight Show-is Moorman’s heavily annotated score, which she used in performances for over 30 years. This personal copy has inscriptions prompting her to fry an egg, throw a cymbal on the floor, and “bomb,” or play a few bars on the practice bomb she transformed into a cello-actions that can be seen in a never-before-exhibited black-and-white television clip of Moorman performing the Cage piece in an appearance on The Mike Douglas Show(1967). This is paired with an affecting black-and-white photograph by Peter Moore (1965) showing her performing the “Human Cello” section of the piece, leaning over the artist Nam June Paik’s bare back, intensely strumming him with a bow. Another historic moment represented in the exhibition is the 1967 performance of Paik’s Opera Sextronique, which led to Moorman’s arrest on indecency charges.
Cellos representative of Moorman’s career made from various materials are also featured, including two Bomb Cellos (1965/1990). These painted metal bombs, to which Moorman added strings and played as part of John Cage’s 26’1.1499″ beginning in the early 1960s, are striking examples of how Moorman’s interpretations of that piece changed with the times, accreting new props and ideas with unceasing imagination. This section also displays key mixed-media works by Paik, including TV Bra for Living Sculpture (1969), TV Cello(1971/1990), and Charlotte Moorman II, an homage to Moorman created in 1995, after her death.
Moorman Abroad, the show’s third section, examines her role as an instigator and key participant in the transatlantic avant-garde. Moorman embarked for West Germany with Paik in 1965, participating in the 24 Hours festival in Wuppertal, where in multiple venues she interpreted Cage’s 26’1 as “a kind of pop music,” with a gong, phone chimes, and radio sounds. Later performances in West Germany are also amply documented in A Feast of Astonishments by, among other items, photographs of Moorman laying upon a bed of large TV monitors on a sidewalk, bowing her cello as she is observed by a crowd of onlookers (Nam June Paik’s TV Bed, 1972); a hand-drawn poster created by Jörg Immendorff for a concert in Düsseldorf (1966); and a felt cello cover emblazoned with a red cross, used by Moorman in performances of Infiltration Homogen for Cello, the only work Joseph Beuys ever created for another artist.
This section also features a score and video of Moorman performing Giuseppe Chiari’s Per Arco. In Moorman’s interpretation, this composition consisted of five minutes of the recorded sounds of bombs falling during World War II, one minute and forty seconds of silence, and six minutes of her reaction to the sounds of war with her cello and bow.
The final section, Avant Garde Festivals, is devoted to the fifteen Annual Avant Garde Festivals Moorman organized in New York between 1963 and 1980. In providing a detailed look at these almost-forgotten extravaganzas, A Feast of Astonishments supplies an important missing chapter in the history of contemporary art. Drawing on the talents of New York’s vanguard community, these festivals were held first at Judson Hall on West 57th Street and later in such public spaces as Central Park (1966), the Staten Island Ferry (1967), Grand Central Terminal (1973), and Shea Stadium (1974).
From a letter in which Ray Johnson describes his performance action Hot Dog Drop to a telegram from Mayor John Lindsay politely declining Moorman’s invitation to ride in a hot air balloon, an array of correspondence-typed, hand-written, or drawn and scribbled on scrap paper-is assembled to reveal Moorman’s utterly personal approach to festival organization. Objects on view include the recently rediscovered hoop and costumes used inNoise Bodies; Carolee Schneemann’s wonderful but little-known collaborative performance piece with composer James Tenney; a photograph of Takehisa Kosugi’s Piano ’66, in which the instrument floats on the model boat pond in Central Park; a grainy 16mm film clip documenting performances on the Staten Island Ferry; and Styrofoam blocks used by Moorman in planning an artist parade for the 1968 festival held on Central Park West.
Photographs capture striking moments in that festival: Allan Kaprow’s “metallic ballet,” which sent oil drums rolling down Central Park West; Les Levine’s float-a glowing grid of neon tubes; Joseph Beuys’s mute piano, wrapped in gray felt; and, pulling up the rear, the Bell Labs and Experiments in Art and Technology (EAT) float generating a computer printout of a “five mile poem.”
A Feast of Astonishments presents the largest number of images by photographer Peter Moore seen in an exhibition to date. Similarly, it acknowledges the achievements of Jim McWilliams, creator of some of Moorman’s most audacious performances, with examples of the posters he designed for the Avant Garde Festivals. Finally, the exhibition includes images and accounts-some unexpected-from a wide range of influential figures of the time, such as Ay-O, John Cage, Johnny Carson, Christo, Ornette Coleman, Philip Corner, Simone Forti, Merv Griffin, Geoff Hendricks, Dick Higgins, Jörg Immendorff, Ray Johnson, Allan Kaprow, Billy Klüver, Alison Knowles, John Lennon, Les Levin, Mayor John Lindsay, Alvin Lucier, George Maciunas, Meredith Monk, Max Neuhaus, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Otto Piene, Yvonne Rainer, Carolee Schneemann, David Tudor, Robert Watts, and La Monte Young.
After its presentation at the Grey, A Feast of Astonishments will travel to the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Austria, where it will be on view from March 4 to June 18, 2017.
Exhibition Curators
A Feast of Astonishments was curated by a collaborative team from the Block Museum: Lisa G. Corrin, the Block Museum’s Ellen Philips Katz Director and curator of modern and contemporary art; Corinne Granof, curator of academic programs; and Michelle Puetz, Pick-Laudati curator of media arts; along with Scott Krafft, curator of the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections, Northwestern University Libraries; Joan Rothfuss, consulting curator and author of Topless Cellist: The Improbable Life of Charlotte Moorman; and Laura Wertheim Joseph, consulting curatorial associate.
Companion Presentation
Don’t Throw Anything Out, a companion exhibition drawn from the Charlotte Moorman Archive at Northwestern University’s Charles Deering McCormick Library, will be on view atNYU’s Fales Library concurrently with A Feast of Astonishments.
Don’t Throw Anything Out will frame the scope of the Charlotte Moorman Archive with a selection of objects and media ranging from her double-barreled, heavily notated Rolodex to audio recordings of greetings and voice messages saved from her telephone message machine, both by personal relations, including her mother, and by such legends of the era as John Lennon. While A Feast of Astonishments traces Moorman’s achievements and influence within the broad context of the art and culture of her time, Don’t Throw Anything Out provides a look at the private Moorman, the Southern belle who rather implausibly became an instigator and ambassador for vanguard art.
Exhibition Catalogue
A Feast of Astonishments: Charlotte Moorman and the Avant-Garde, 1960s-1980s, the exhibition catalogue, is published by Northwestern University Press and features new scholarship from art historians, musicologists, and experts on the 1960s and 1970s, including Hannah B. Higgins, professor in the School of Art and Art History at the University of Chicago; Kristine Stiles, France Family Professor of Art, Art History, and Visual Studies at Duke University; and Kathy O’Dell, associate professor of art history and museum studies, University of Maryland, Baltimore County. It also features essays by emerging scholars in the field. The volume extends and complements Rothfuss’s biography and existing scholarship on the period by illuminating the artistic activities of Moorman and her circle within a broad social and aesthetic context.
