"Young & Restless"


V. Beecroft, "Piano Americano"

- "Chris Burden: Documentation of Selected Works 1971-74," 1975, 34 min., video.
An influential and controversial figure in the West Coast body art, performance, and Conceptual Art movements, this historical document reveals the major themes of Burden's work - the psychological experience of danger, pain and physical risk, the aggressive abuse of the body as an art object, and the psychology of the artist/spectator relationship.

- "Young & Restless"
A selection from the exhibition at the MoMA, NY, curated by Stephen Vitiello and co-organized by Barbara London and Sally Berger. Recent performance-based works by women artists. These energetic, often ironic pieces, made between 1993 and 1997, showcased artists who engage in dynamic explorations of female identity.
1) "Life Lines," by Tatiana Parcero, 1995, 6 min., silent. Parcero paints her body from feet to head, tracing the veins and organs that represent the lines of her life, the cells of her memory.
2) "Shore," by Linda Post, 1996, 6:15. A video camera caught in the surf acts as a surrogate performer and witness to unpredictable forces.
3) "Sally," by Kristin Oppenheim, 1995, 10 min. (excerpt), b&w.
4) "In and Around the Garden," by Beverly Semmes, 1993, 7 min. Semmes creates a surrealistic series of still-lifes - motionless, timeless scenes filled with Alice in Wonderland-like costumes.
5) "Piano Americano," by Vanessa Beecroft, 1996, 10 min. (excerpt), silent. Beecroft performs at the Deitch Projects gallery, using women models as images.
6) "In the Present," by Phyllis Baldino, 1996, 12 min. Baldino constructs scenes that explore the idea that the brain can grasp only 3-12 seconds as "the present," unimpeded by memory.

- "Cuerpos de Papel" by Ximena Cuevas, 1997, 4 min, Mexico.
"Cuerpos de Papel is a dense visual meditation on sexuality, loss, jealousy and intimacy. It uses rich sensual images to weave a digital portrait of an intimate, erotic, and emotional past. As the images transform, we are left with a slippery sense of intangibility and delicacy." - VDB catalogue.

- "Boy Frankenstein" by Susana Donovan, 1994, 9 min, b/w.
Uses collaged images, text, and narration to form a lyrical critique of the limitations and destructive nature of the nuclear family. Consisting of video, found footage and Super-8mm film, B.F. relates the story of an individual constructed entirely by and through the comments and perceptions of those around her/him.

- "Borderstasis: The Many Lives of an End-of-the-Century Bandit" by Guillermo Gomez-Pena, 1998, 22:35, video, in English, Spanish, Spanglish.
"This strange, lyrical performance video diary is a millennial reflection on the impossibility to "reveal" one's self in stormy times such as ours. The piece is also about the intricate connections between performance and everyday life; about language, identity, love, nostalgia and activism amidst the California apocalypse. Through a series of poetic tableaux vivants, performance actions and found footage, "Borderstasis" articulates the fluid boundaries between public and private, mythical and real, as they exist in the life of a "migrant performance artist" living in a fully globalized world." - VDB catalogue
