Chris Burden's provocative, often shocking conceptual performance pieces of the early 1970s retain their raw and confrontational force in these dramatic visual records, shot on Super-8, 16mm film, and half-inch video. Guided by the artist's candid, explanatory comments on both the works and the...
Accompanied by Wegman's inimitable deadpan narration, Dog Baseball is a humorous, affectionate homage to two of America's most cherished passions: dogs and baseball. Wegman puts a new spin on the old game as he plays opposite a canine team, with the dogs' owners in attendance to cheer their team...
Writes Alice Weiner: "Done To consists of simple camera frames which are silent and/or unconnected to a complex soundtrack running parellel to the images. There are brief instances where image and sound meet; however, the majority of the images are overtaken by at times symphonic, at times cacophonous soundtracks which displace the normal filmic viewing experience.

"A 70-year-old lesbian feminist, seeing little change in the society after years of work, sends out her 40-year-old self on a journey taking her around the perimeters of the San Francisco Bay.

The film culminates in a visual crescendo ascending a tower as the heroine's hair is painted white by her counterparts. A dream vision film." — Barbara Hammer
