Titled after one of his iconic pieces, VITO ACCONCI: WHERE WE ARE NOW (WHO ARE WE ANYWAY?), 1976 is a solo exhibition of early works by the unconventional writer, poet, performance, video and conceptual artist, and designer/architect. The SculptureCenter Museum of the Moving Image MoMA PS1 IN THE VIDEO SCREENING AMPHITHEATER COMPUTER FILMS OF THE 1960S March 25–August 14 The 1960s was a seminal period for the artistic use of the computer in the creation of moving images. From the manipulation of geometric line drawings, to the use of realistic 3-D vector graphics to highly processed psychedelic abstraction, these films were the result of pioneering collaborations between artists, computer programmers, and technicians that anticipate the full integration of cinema with computer imaging. This compilation features a selection of pioneering films by Edward E. Zajac, A. Michael Noll, Charles A. Csuri, James P. Shaffer, Stan VanDerBeek, Kenneth Knowlton, and John and James Whitney. As seen in the adjacent exhibition, To the Moon and Beyond: Graphic Films and the Inception of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the films of John and James Whitney had a strong influence on Stanley Kubrick. June 9-September 25, 2016 PUBLIC PROCESS COMMISSION MIKA TAJIMA: MERIDIAN (GOLD) Hunter's Point South Park, Long Island City (Enter the park at Center Blvd and Borden Ave) Meridian (Gold) is an illuminated plume of water vapor whose color shifts between magenta and pale cyan. The color of the vapor corresponds in real-time to the global sentiment for gold, reflected in the price fluctuation of the commodity. Gold is a peculiar material that derives its value from the social perception of its qualities and collective "moods" toward geopolitical and economic events. The framing structure for Meridian (Gold) is a seating zone that references communal rejuvenation spas and here becomes a site to reflect on the fleeting materiality of contemporary life. The project was selected by participants in Public Process, SculptureCenter's intensive program for high school students that uses New York City's rich public art landscape to explore the history and impact of public art and its community influence. 22-25 Jackson Ave • LIC 718.784.2084 • MoMAPS1.org 35 Ave at 37 St • Astoria 718.777.6800 • www.movingimage.us 44-19 Purves St. • LIC 718.361.1750 • sculpture-center.org VITO ACCONCI: WHERE WE ARE NOW (WHO ARE WE ANYWAY?), 1976 On view June 19–September 18, 2016 718.445.0300 | 800.446.0406 www.JewishFunerals.com We are here 24 hours to serve your family.
