Noriko Furunishi Interview
Minneapolis Institute of Arts
2009; 4:01
Furunishi, who was born in Kobe, Japan, and lives in Los Angeles, uses a large-format 4 x 5 camera to make several film images of geographical sites in the United States. Each image represents a different point of view, typically including one with a span from the tip of the artists toes into the foreground and landscape. After selecting four to six images, Furunishi scans the negatives onto a computer and then digitally stitches them together with Adobe Photoshop to create seemingly continuous landscapes. A close look reveals that some images have been flipped upside down or rearranged within the composition. The vertical orientation of Furunishi's photographs recalls the complex formal compositions of historical Chinese and Japanese hanging scroll paintings, providing a contemporary perspective on the Minneapolis Institute of Arts's renowned Asian collection.

Berwick Street Collective, Nightcleaners Part 1, 1972-75. (Excerpt)
Marc Karlin, Mary Kelly, James Scott and Humphry Trevelyan
Nightcleaners Part 1 is a documentary made by members of the Berwick Street Collective (Marc Karlin, Mary Kelly, James Scott and Humphry Trevelyan) about the campaign to unionize the women who cleaned office blocks at night and who were being victimized and underpaid. Intending at the outset to make a campaign film, the Collective was forced to turn to new forms in order to represent the forces at work between the cleaners, the Cleaner's Action Group, the unions, and the complex nature of the campaign itself. The result was an intensely self-reflexive film, which implicated both the filmmakers and the audience in the processes of precarious, invisible labor. It is increasingly recognized as a key work of the 1970s and as an important precursor, in both subject matter and form, to current political art practice.

Nightcleaners was shown in April 2010 as part of CCA Glasgow's Beta Movement program.
