S4 • E5 Aug 8, 1988 25m
This program begins with a brief prologue by performance artist Ann Magnuson, followed by the video "Le Deuxieme Jour," based on the piece "Godard" by composer John Zorn. The video uses a collage of images, sounds, and music to evoke the work of filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. In selected excerpts from "The Fourth Dimension," artists explore the possibilities of visual perspective through experimental animation of actual images of a man and a woman. "Sotto Voce" features the work of choreographer and dancer Stephen Petronio, who performs to the music "Dance Music for Borneo Horns (Mood Borneo)" by Lenny Pickett. Interspersed between the featured videos are Joan Logue's "30 Second Portraits of Artists," which consist of brief clips of the works of performance artists Takis, Orlan, and Jochen Gerz.
