The Howard Wise Gallery: TV as a Creative Medium, 1969 1994 Exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art In June, 1994, the Whitney Museum of American Art launched a major exhibition as the first in a series on the previous thirty years of video art. The Howard Wise Gallery: TV as a Creative Medium, 1969 served both to commemorate the landmark exhibition at the Howard Wise Gallery and to recognize Wise's personal contribution to the field. Curated by John Hanhardt and Assistant Curator Matthew Yokobosky of the Film and Video Department, the exhibition featured six works from the original exhibition; photographic, film, and video documentation by Peter Moore, Jud Yalkut and Ira Schneider; and Virtually Wise, a new work by Nam June Paik. |
