Flashing into the Shadows:The Artist’s film in America 1966 - 1976
Flashing into the Shadows is a selection of important but rarely shown audio-visual works by the likes of Robert Morris, Richard Serra, Hollis Frampton, Mel Bochner, Robert Smithson, Dan Graham, Bruce Nauman and Vito Acconci, offering a unique outline of the hey-day of the artist’s cinema in the United States between 1966 and 1976. During that period the artist’s film did not merely close the gap between the conventional, modernist categories of ‘art’ and ‘film’. The medium also created a new, hybrid vocabulary, shifting the accent from the self-contained art object to process, performance and language. Subdivided into four themed categories – Topologies, Seriality, Films as Performance and Counter-narratives – the programme, which is divided into six segments, backtracks the role played by the artist’s film in the various utterances of post minimalism, like process art, earth art, conceptual art, body art and performance art. It was compiled by Chrissie Iles and Eric de Bruyn, and has previously been shown in other versions at The Whitney Museum (New York) and Tate Modern (London). The argosfestival will also screen works made for television by Walter de Maria and Gerry Schum as an added bonus.
