Surveying the Border: Three Decades of Video Art about the United States and Mexico
SURVEYING THE BORDER: THREE DECADES OF VIDEO ART ABOUT THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO
This 90-minute program presents some of the best short video works made by artists since the mid-1970s that take the relation between the United States and Mexico as their subject matter. The program screens videos that address the experience of immigration and the subsequent reality of living in the neighboring country, including provocative political works by a number of artist activists. More lyrical pieces focus on urban and rural landscapes, while other works comment on the humorous absurdity of stereotypes. The evening encompasses a number of genres of video, including conceptual and performance art, experimental documentary, short fiction, and music video.
SURVEYING THE BORDER features work by artists based in Southern California, Tijuana, New York, Mexico City, Florida, El Paso, and Oaxaca. Artists include Greg Berger, Ira Scheider, Border Arts Workshop/Taller de Arte Fronterizo (BAW/TAF), Alan Calpe, Ximena Cuevas, Nathan Gibbs, Guillermo Gधmez-Peña, Art Jones, Andrew Lampert, Jesse Lerner, Yoshua Okon, Sal V. Ricalde, Alex Rivera, Shannon Spanhake, Rubén Ortiz Torres, Bruno Varela, Willie Varela, and others.
Please join us following the screening for a discussion between artists Ximena Cuevas, Andrew Lampert, and Rubén Ortiz Torres moderated by Rita Gonzalez, assistant curator at the Center for Art of the Americas at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

Robert Beck Memorial Cinema
New York City
Bradley Eros kindly included me in this show even though I had already screened my work in NYC and even at the Robert Beck. I don't recall what BACKWARDS FILM is but imagine that at the time I thought it to be a good camera roll. Sound is Brion Gysin's THE POOL K III.
1001 Polaroids /
Jonas Mekas asked me if I had 1001 Polaroids. I did. He gave me a show in the Courthouse Gallery in 2000.

Baktun
New York City
For some forgotten reason Stom Sogo and I were given an evening to stage the event CASIO 99 at Baktun, the lounge formerly above The Cooler on 14th St. in the old meatpacking district. At midnight we held a free form Casio jam with people playing keyboards, watches, appliances, etc. It was a show so big that we made three flyers.
