Description

Celebrating its 40th Anniversary in 2011, EAI presented a special screening program at the NY Art Book Fair. Forty short videos and films by forty artists, one work for every year between 1971 and 2011, were screened, all drawn from EAI's extensive archive of media-based art. 40 Artists/40 Works/40 Years began with iconic early works by artists such as Joan Jonas, John Baldessari, the Vasulkas and Charlotte Moorman and concluded in the 2000s with pieces by artists including Cory Arcangel, Shana Moulton, Seth Price, and Takeshi Murata: a time-lapse portrait of moving-image art evolving across four decades. 40 Artists/40 Works/40 Years screened continuously during the fair in MoMA PS1's basement video vault.
