From the Academy to the Avant Garde - Introduction Bibliography

From the Academy to the Avant Garde, curated by Richard Simmons for Visual Studies Workshop, presents demanding, dense video art intended for sustained, repeated viewing. A catalog by Richard Simmons serves as a companion to the exhibition and introduces the artists and their other work while guiding the viewer through the show. The text situates video in its second decade, notes that several participating artists have made video since its early years, and emphasizes the medium's use of images, sounds, and language and its increasing sophistication.
