DIA ROOFTOP SCREENING: DARA BIRNBAUM AND DAN GRAHAM
Friday, September 21, 7:30 pm
Dia Center for the Arts
548 West 22nd Street New York
Dia Center for the Arts and Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) proudly celebrate the video works of Dara Birnbaum and Dan Graham with an open-air screening at Dia's Rooftop Urban Park Project, on September 21, 2001.
This unique screening event will feature individual works by each artist, as well as a collaborative work by Birnbaum and Graham. The program recontextualizes the works of these two highly influential and provocative artists, considering resonances between their video works, and points of departure and difference. The artists apply distinctive strategies to analyze the social function and meaning of popular culture, architecture, public and private space, and mass media.
The program includes the premiere of Birnbaum's "Attack Piece," an installation that was originally produced in 1975 and recently restored through EAI's Preservation Program; a collaborative work by Birnbaum and Graham that analyzes local TV news; seminal tapes by Birnbaum that critique popular culture; works by Graham that investigate cultural phenomena, including his 1983 document of Hardcore band Minor Threat; and rarely-seen short commissions by Birnbaum.
This open-air event will take place within the context of the Rooftop Urban Park Project at Dia, a project by Dan Graham that includes his architectural pavilion, "Two-Way Mirror Cylinder Inside Cube."
EAI is a nonprofit media arts organization that is a major resource for artists' video and interactive media.
