Joyce Wieland, Cat Food, 1969
Joyce Wieland
1969, 13:40
A cat eats its methodical way through a polymorphous fish. The projector devours the ribbon of film at the same rate, methodically. The lay of Grimnir mentions a wild boar whose magical flesh was nightly devoured by the heroes of Valhalla, and miraculously regenerated next morning in the kitchen. The fish in Wieland's film, and the miraculous flesh of the film itself, are reconstructed on the rewinds to be devoured again. Here is a Dionysian metaphor, old as the West, of immense strength. Once we see that the fish is the protagonist of the action, this metaphor reverberates to incandescence in the mind.––Hollis Frampton

George Kuchar
14:24, (1966)
"Last summer, when it became clear that cancer would inevitably take his life, George Kuchar entered a hospice in San Francisco. He brought his video equipment with him, shooting and editing footage inside what would serve as his final residence. At age sixty-nine, the underground film legend was reportedly the youngest person in the hospice at that moment—appropriate for a guy who began his career as a teenage director and always retained the energy of a gum-snapping adolescent. Even at the end, he could play the kid with the camera." Read more about George Kuchar in Ed Halter's article in the February 2012 Artforum.
Mike Kelley, Day Is Done, 2005 (trailer)
microcinema
2005, 1:36
Day Is Done, a major video work by Los Angeles artist Mike Kelley, is a feature-length musical. It enunciates a career-long interest in American subcultures and folk events through the re-staging of thirty-one carnivalesque productions intermixed into a meandering semi-narrative. Each reconstruction is a live-action scene that has been extrapolated from photographs found in high school yearbooks. Their subjects are the kinds of institutionalized entertainments practiced within the American education system or the work place. These include such familiar diversions from the day-to-day routine as dress-up days, memorial speeches, religious spectacles, fashion shows, singles mixers, and musical follies. The actors have been cast based on their resemblance to the figures in the found photographs, and the sets eerily recreate the original locales: harshly spot-lit stages, bland institutional hallways, meeting rooms, and gymnasiums. While each chapter of Day Is Done is derived entirely from an image of a quite standardized folk ritual, Kelley disrupts the traditional structures of such events to construct a dizzying daisy chain of performances that results in an institutional landscape populated by dancing Goths, singing vampires, hick story-tellers, horse dancers, and the Virgin Mary.

Originally presented as a fifty channel video/sculpture installation at the Gagosian Gallery New York, in December of 2005, this version of Day is Done has been re-edited into a single channel format for private viewing.
Wael Ghonim Interview with Mona el-Shazly
Dreams TV
2011, :30
“Equally pivotal was the intensely telegenic footage of a boyish marketing executive at Google weeping on television at the height of the protests. Having been held for twelve days, in part for his role as administrator of the Said Facebook page, Wael Ghonim emerged as the Western-friendly face of the protesters. “I am not a hero,” he opined to popular talk-show host Mona el-Shazly; “this is the revolution of the youth of the Internet,” he said, then burst into tears. Ghonim’s melodramatic yet extremely affecting public mourning pushed many middle-class Egyptians, previously on the fence, into Tahrir Square to join the demonstrations. Later, he would be hailed by Barack Obama as “the Google Guy.” A $2.5 million book deal would follow, and there was even talk of a Nobel Prize.”

Pacific Standard Time

Jason Schwartzman Celebrates John Baldessari for Pacific Standard Time the birth of the LA art scene. For more info on Schwartzman & Baldessari visit pacificstandardtime.org.

Actor Jason Schwartzman drops his friend off at LACMA and keeps walking along Wilshire because he doesn't like museums. He is surprised by John Baldessari's light projected head. Baldessari's head follows him and explains ones taste for art matures likes one taste for cheese. Jason escapes Baldessari and runs into Jeff Garland at Rays and Stark bar. Jason tries to convince Jeff that Baldessari's head is following him to which Jeff says I don't see him but don't complain as he's a master artist. So Jason walks along while Baldessari educates him on art, cubism, impressionists, Broadway Boogie Woogie, and tells Schwartzman not to be intimidated of museums because art is fun. Soundtrack is "Any Fun on Davy" album by Jason's band Coconut records.

Pacific Standard Time is an initiative of the Getty. The presenting sponsor is Bank of America.

Los Four. Documents the first exhibition of Chicano artists held at a major art museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, in 1974.

The documentary captures the group's debates over art, politics, and community, while it also reveals their experimentation with spray-can techniques, found object, and installation art as well as their self-conscious efforts to develop Chicano icons.
