Luminous Realities: Projection and Video Art

Luminous Realities is part of a continuing series of exhibitions devoted to the exploration of concepts and processes in contemporary art. This exhibition wed artistic sensibility to modern technology by utilizing the talents of seven contemporary artists working with video and projection devices as their media. David Cort explains video and projection art as a process. The classical painter expresses an abstract idea on canvas, but I think a video artist expresses an idea through a process. Art for a video artist is the creative process, art for the audience is the participation. The following catalog attempts not only to serve as a record of the exhibition but also to introduce the reader to the work of the seven participating artists: David Cort, Tony Conrad, Douglas Davis, Anthony McCall, Nam June Paik, Paul Sharits, and Jud Yalkut. It is intended to be an introduction to the oeuvre of important contemporary artists brought together for the first time in a single exhibition.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/restein_catalogs/1021/thumbnail.jp

Water Being Water

IQ. DNA. MRI. FYI. In an ever-changing world, we find ourselves conversing with abbreviated acronyms and phrases. They drive today\u27s economy, political agenda, and water cooler chitchat. They define our use of resources and the attention given to matters. Who we are, or think we are, are wrapped around their brevity. In our hurried attempt to sort through the complexities of life we use them to only answer the obvious-How? Unfortunately, an equally important question, Why? is often ignored. The solving of the how of things has generally been left to the scientists and the reasons as to the why for artists to decipher. This publication and exhibition takes a new approach by making the two questions inseparable. Using the simplest of elements, H20, a scientist turned artist, and two writers, one from the sciences and the other from the arts, have begun a new conversation. It is a discussion that deserves our attention and participation.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/restein_catalogs/1051/thumbnail.jp
