In this powerful "meta-document," Acconci sits in the dark with his back to a screen, onto which are projected slides of his past works, in chronological order from 1969. Autobiographical within the context of his art-making, Home Movies reveals the psychological circuit that propels much of Acconci's work, as he explores the self through a dialogue between the artist and an absent other.
In this lyrical work, Masayesva observes Hopi cultural activities through the cycle of the seasons. Work and play, ceremonial rituals and the rituals of everyday life throughout the year are woven together in a seamless vision that conveys the oral traditions of storytelling, the natural...
Extending Harris-Babou’s broader exploration of the language and empire of Restoration Hardware, Human Design follows the artist as colonial explorer and travel blogger traveling to Gorée Island in Senegal to unearth the “rare” artifacts on display in the furniture company’s New York showroom.

Discovered after Cantor’s death in 2013, If I Just Turn and Run is an anomaly in Cantor’s body of work. Departing from her metatextual and appropriation-based practice, the video retains the bold, diaristic quality of her work, blurring boundaries between fiction and life.
A compilation of Schneemann's anti-Vietnam War group performances, this work merges film projection, sound and slide systems, light beams, audience and performer action in a sensory collage linking the exposed Illinois landscape to the devastation in Vietnam. Writes Schneemann: "I think of this...
