"Song Poem (Trips Visits) is a single-channel work I created using videotapes I found in second-hand stores, from home movies to hunting how-to tapes. It was created for a show titled Song Poems, which took as its departure a popular 1960-70s mail-order phenomenon, advertised in the back of magazines, offering to set poems to music in an array of styles and return them as 'singles.' The exhibition brought together musicians and video artists to set original poems by a variety of artists and writers to music and images. I created a video for an original poem by the show’s curator, Steven Hull, with music composed by The Pony Express, an alternative New York rock band." -- Robert Beck
This 1973 black-and-white film is a rediscovered classic. Performing with a "cast" that includes Gordon Matta-Clark, Jonas choreographs a theater of space, movement, and sound, with the urban landscape of New York in a featured role. Jonas creates a highly original if enigmatic theatrical...
Sounding Board documents Acconci's performance/installation of the same name, which was presented at A Space in Toronto in July 1971. The artist lies naked, face down on two upward-turned speakers, through which plays a Frank Zappa song as interpreted by Jean-Luc Ponty. The second performer is a musician who "plays" the song on Acconci's body.

"Souvenir of Lebanon follows a long video pan through destroyed Palestinian and Lebanese villages. In 1982-83, Israeli ceaseless bombardments destroyed bridges, farms, roads, hospitals, schools, libraries, apartments, and historic sites and towns dating back 2000 years. The live color footage was received unexpectedly from an anonymous news photographer. It is intercut with black and white disaster stills I re-shot from daily newspapers, edited in juxtaposition with color slides of bucolic Lebanon given to me on the day the Lebanese tourist bureau in New York city closed."
This film documents the major building cut made by Matta-Clark in a house on Humphrey Street in Englewood, New Jersey.
This historical videotape, produced in 1973 by Art/Tapes/22 in Florence, Italy, is being made available for the first time in decades through EAI's Video Preservation Program. Acconci writes: "Black screen—a spotlight, circle of light on the floor, just part of it off-screen, in front of the screen, in the viewer's space. I'm off-screen, singing: the tone is vague still, indefinable. Then I come into the spotlight, partly, so that my face is barely visible: 'I'd be dancing for you—I'd know you were watching—I'd be at my peak.' Off-screen, grand song; then I'm back: 'I'd know you were watching—but I'd be nervous, I wouldn't know whose side you were on.'"
Stand in the Stream is an ambient digital film shot on multiple camera formats over the course of six years. Following the arc of an activist/worker’s deterioration and death amidst shifting political and digital landscapes, the film moves through the home, the wild, online chat rooms and the streets with Vertovian intensity. Using no found footage but only that shot by Kahn or screen-recorded by Kahn in real time, Stand in the Stream brings live witness to our screen-saturated perspectives, begging accountability, acknowledging participation. The film’s core conceptual framework—that resistance and resilience bloom despite the inextricable flows of socio-political power and capitalism’s acculturation in our very personhood—structures Kahn’s massive collection of footage, edited with high speed precision and driven by a dense and visceral sound-score.
