performances from the \'60s
Robert Whitman is a seminal figure in the context of Expanded Cinema and multimedia performance. During the 1960¹s Whitman distinguished himself with sophisticated theatrical works involving interaction between live performers and filmed images. Unlike Jim Dine and Allan Kaprow, whose performances were highly expressionistic, Whitman sought an imagistic theater through works described by Lynne Cooke, Dia's exhibition curator as" magical, poetic, luscious and mysterious. sly one of the least-k…
Silent room
"A box with dvd (two versions, one on ntsc and one on pal), a 264 pages book, two audio cd. The dvd presents the film Silent room : "A cross-sected view of 16 people, 16 rooms, 16 private lives, Silent Room is an x-ray vision of 16 interiors. In this film-poem, the room is felt from the inside. An interior steeped in discontinuity, where unusual and poetic communications unfold wordlessly, through a contamination of the senses. Rather than a story line, there is a set of tableaux vivants, each c…

The Bed Bug, Love Buzz
Time was intensifying to the point of becoming alarming, but primarily I was interested in seeing how far it would go. By 1901 I had found that a 10 inch disc playing for three minutes was better for most types of popular music, even popular songs, and the popular 'single' was born. As for myself: I was a lump of thinking ice. I thought of myself as a statue carved from a block of ice and this mad hallucination made me proud with an intense pleasure that is truly secret.
One Million Years
In 1993, in a decision unprecedented in his oeuvre, Kawara transformed One Million Years (Future) from a written to recorded state. The impetus for this metamorphosis was an exhibition for Dia Center for the Arts that ran from January 1, 1993, to December 31 of the same year. The exhibition was comprised of three parts, a selection of one thousand Today paintings, the ten volumes of One Million Years (Past) and the recording of One million Years (Future), in which a male and female voice contin…

Eighth Symphony
Two LPS in 180 Gram Vinyl High Quality Pressing. "'I have one Sinfonie' professed Hermann Nitsch identifying with Bruckner who made a similar claim of his symphonic output. For comparison, La Monte Young has a similar concept, for example, The Tortoise, His Dreams, and Journey's from 1964 -- eternity, with each realization, the piece never ends; it's a continuation. Professionally recorded in 1990 in Vienna and realized by a professional orchestra, the 8th Sinfonie by Hermann Nitsch is a triumph…

François Dufrêne
2007 release. François Dufrêne (1930-1982) is one of the leading artists from the post-War European and French art scene. He played a key role in many of the initiatives of Lettrism, Nouveau Réalisme and sound poetry. In François Dufrêne's oeuvre, art and poetry intersect in a reciprocal experimentation of the possibilities of transgression of their specific grammars. His oeuvre constitutes a singular example of this special relationship between art and language, which throughout the 20th centur…
Gehorlose Musik
During the years 1980-87, German trio Die Tödliche Doris was absolutely legendary in the Berlin underground music and art scene. Embodying the pure, obscure spirit of "neue deutsche welle," their releases and live shows revealed a raw post-punk sensibility with performance art. Die Todliche Doris are still widely considered one of the most radical, intelligent and influential German avantgarde bands of the last two decades. Now this DVD brings the music of the legendary, long unavailable LP Gehö…

Robert Watts’s 1969 “string record composition” (simply astounding ear…
