For the third installment of EAI Invites, Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is pleased to welcome
Martha Wilson, the pathbreaking feminist artist and founding director of Franklin Furnace. Noting that “most people are interested in sex” and the subject’s subsequent broad appeal, Martha Wilson has selected sexually explicit and audacious work from the collections of both EAI and Franklin Furnace, exploring human relations from multiple perspectives. Works screened will include
Post Porn Modernist, a 1990 performance by
Annie Sprinkle, along with a selection of film and video by
Ellen Cantor,
Barbara Hammer,
Mike Kelley,
Cynthia Maughan,
Bruce Nauman,
Carolee Schneemann, and
Julie Zando.

EAI presented a seasonally themed free screening of macabre media digging through the tropes of horror cinema. Although narrative, genre, and lurid popular entertainment may seem an unlikely source of inspiration for artists' media, the grotesqueand specifically its situation within the televisual dimensionhas crept into approaches as varied as the diary video, direct-camera performance, film/video hybrid, and datamosh.
By dissecting and reanimating the themes and situations of horror film and television, artists such as Peggy Ahwesh, Michael Smith, Cynthia Maughan, Cecilia Condit, Tony Oursler, and George Kuchar offer a subversive post-mortem on the syntax and politics of the genre while offering a glimpse of the unknown, mysterious, and shocking that lurk at the video signal's outer limits.

Continuing the tradition of its annual summer group shows, EAI hosted a free evening spotlighting emerging artists alongside recent and historical works from the EAI collection. This program was structured like a late-summer mixtape rallying against the fleeting season: a deftly sequenced flow of bangers, classics, deep cuts, and hidden gems.

EAI partnered with Migrating Forms to present the first New York screening devoted to the video work of Los Angeles-based artist Cynthia Maughan.
Maughan produced nearly 300 direct-camera performances in a prolific period from 1973 through the 1980s. Absorbing Hollywood's beguiling superficiality, Maughan's performances treat the closed-circuit camera as a two-way mirror, in which and for which she prepares her public persona. Maughan's rarely-screened videos use and call attention to the tropes of television, horror films, B-movies, and lifestyle magazines, tackling issues of domesticity, hygiene, and gender roles with a dry wit and an iconoclastic sensibility. Cynthia Maughan: Holidays in the Sun featured works by Maughan alongside early videos by William Wegman and Paul McCarthy, as well as a reading from Trailer Life magazine, the basis for Maughan's series of the same title.
