  • Dan Graham, Rock My Religion (excerpt)
    Dan Graham
    1982–84, 9:44 (original 55:27)
    From Electronic Arts Intermix:
     
    “Rock My Religion is a provocative thesis on the relation between religion and rock music in contemporary culture. Graham formulates a history that begins with the Shakers, an early religious community who practiced self-denial and ecstatic trance dances. With the ”reeling and rocking“ of religious revivals as his point of departure, Graham analyzes the emergence of rock music as religion with the teenage consumer in the isolated suburban milieu of the 1950s, locating rock‘s sexual and ideological context in post-World War II America. The music and philosophies of Patti Smith, who made explicit the trope that rock is religion, are his focus. This complex collage of text, film footage and performance forms a compelling theoretical essay on the ideological codes and historical contexts that inform the cultural phenomenon of rock `n’ roll music.
     
    Original Music: Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth. Sound: Ian Murray, Wharton Tiers. Narrators: Johanna Cypis, Dan Graham. Editors: Matt Danowski, Derek Graham, Ian Murray, Tony Oursler. Produced by Dan Graham and the Moderna Museet.”
  • James Broughton, This Is It
    1971, 9:03
    Robert Greenspun, the New York Times: “James Broughton's creation myth, This Is It, places a two-year-old Adam and a bright apple-red balloon in a backyard garden of Eden, and works a small miracle of the ordinary. And since that miracle is what his film is about, he achieves a kind of casual perfection in matching means and ends.”

    Johan Grimonprez, Double Take (“The Humiliation of Old Age”)
     
    From YouTube:
     
    “If you meet your double, you should kill him.”
     
    In his new film DOUBLE TAKE, acclaimed director Johan Grimonprez
    (dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y) casts Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. The master says all the wrong things at all the wrong times while politicians on both sides desperately clamor to say the right things, live on TV.
     
    DOUBLE TAKE targets the global rise of fear-as-a-commodity, in a tale of odd couples and hilarious double deals. As television hijacks cinema, and the Khrushchev and Nixon kitchen debate rattles on, sexual politics quietly take off and Alfred himself emerges in a dandy new role on the TV, blackmailing housewives with brands they can‘t refuse.
     
    Bestselling novelist Tom McCarthy (Remainder, Tintin and the Secret of Literature) writes a plot of personal paranoia to mirror the political intrigue in which Hitchcock and his elusive double increasingly obsess over the perfect murder of each other! Subverting a meticulous array of TV footage, Grimonprez traces catastrophe culture’s relentless assault on the home, from the inception of televised images to our present day zapping neurosis.
     
    DOUBLE TAKE is edited by Tyler Hubby (The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Welcome to Death Row) and Dieter Diependaele."

  • General Idea, Shut the Fuck Up, 1984 (Part I and II)
    Color video, 7 minutes 45 seconds
    From “Video Art in Canada”:
     
    “...Using ironic and iconic excerpts from television and film from the 1960s, such as The Joker character from Batman and part of the historic footage of artist Yves Klein‘s painting and performance from Mondo Cane, General Idea examine the relationship between the mass media and the artist. Recalling Klein’s use of ‘IKB’ — International Klein Blue or chroma-key blue — they revisit their own performance of XXX blue, 1984, at Centre d‘art Contemporain in Geneva, where the artists painted large Xs using stuffed poodles dipped in blue paint. The video reveals the meaning of language and iconography in their work, and provides some background for their choice of poodles as mascot and metaphor. As Felix Partz comments: ’Those who live to please, must please to live.‘
     
    In Shut the Fuck Up, General Idea underline the media’s insistence that only gossip and spectacle make art and artists interesting to the public. On the contrary, General Idea point out, artists are no fools, nor do they operate within ”a passive yet cleverly deceitful, alienated cult of the imbecile.‘ Jorge Zontal has the last word: ’When there is nothing to say, shut the fuck up.'“”

    For Younger Than Jesus, the first edition of The Generational, the New Museums new signature triennial, fifty artists from twenty-five countries will be presented. The only exhibition of its kind in the United States, The Generational: Younger Than Jesus will offer a rich, intricate, multidisciplinary exploration of the work being produced by a new generation of artists born after 1976. Known to demographers, marketers, sociologists, and pundits variously as the Millennials, Generation Y, iGeneration, and Generation Me, this age group has yet to be described in any way beyond their habits of consumption. Younger Than Jesus will begin to examine the visual culture this generation has created to date.

Unsuspecting passersby were completely stunned and confused when they would happen upon a sister wife delicately clutching a knife or machine gun or stuffing a rag in her mouth, all of which objects were black.”

  • Carter, Erased James Franco, 2008 (excerpt)
    3:03
    From YouTube: “Carter directs the American actor, James Franco in a film that has him ‘re-enact’ every television and film performance from his entire career, creating a new narrative from these re-visited performances. As the film unfolds, Franco also plays the part of Julianne Moore in the Todd Haynes film, Safe (1995) as well as Rock Hudson in the John Frankenheimer film, Seconds (1966). The result is a schizophrenic, daunting and poetic performance that has Franco not only playing ‘himself as himself’ but also the roll of a celebrated, ‘leading lady’ (Moore) and one of Hollywood‘s charismatic ’sex symbols' (Hudson).”

    Johan Grimonprez, Double Take—“The Nixon-Khrushchev Summit Meet”
     
    From YouTube:
     
    “If you meet your double, you should kill him.
     
    In his new film DOUBLE TAKE, acclaimed director Johan Grimonprez
    (dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y) casts Alfred Hitchcock as a paranoid history professor, unwittingly caught up in a double take on the cold war period. The master says all the wrong things at all the wrong times while politicians on both sides desperately clamor to say the right things, live on TV.
     
    DOUBLE TAKE targets the global rise of fear-as-a-commodity, in a tale of odd couples and hilarious double deals. As television hijacks cinema, and the Khrushchev and Nixon kitchen debate rattles on, sexual politics quietly take off and Alfred himself emerges in a dandy new role on the TV, blackmailing housewives with brands they can‘t refuse.
     
    Bestselling novelist Tom McCarthy (Remainder, Tintin and the Secret of Literature) writes a plot of personal paranoia to mirror the political intrigue in which Hitchcock and his elusive double increasingly obsess over the perfect murder of each other! Subverting a meticulous array of TV footage, Grimonprez traces catastrophe culture’s relentless assault on the home, from the inception of televised images to our present day zapping neurosis.
     
    DOUBLE TAKE is edited by Tyler Hubby (The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Welcome to Death Row) and Dieter Diependaele.”
