Black Celebration
Tony Cokes

2018, 19:19 min, color, sound, HD video

Blessed Avenue is a tribute to the artist’s late mother. Songs she recorded on cassette tape and her drawings for a fantasy QVC line of domestic products are catalysts for a clubby, S&M-themed Hieronymus Bosch-inspired music video performed by Satterwhite, Juliana Huxtable, Lourdes Leon Ciccone...

BLIND COUNTRY
Mike Kelley and Ericka Beckman 
1989, 19:57 min, color, sound

Writes Kelley: "BLIND COUNTRY is a collaboration between myself and filmmaker Ericka Beckman. It was inspired by the H.G.

Blockedt!
Jayson Scott Musson
2017, 8 minutes, Color, Stereo, English

Assuming the role of visionary CEO Guy White, Musson pitches a functionless “anti-social social networking” app—co-developed with Buzzfeed founder Jonah Peretti for Rhizome’s Seven on Seven. The app, a blank white screen intended for infinite scrolling without the friction of content, is offered as an “American-sized solution to an American-sized problem.” The interface appeases social media users’ desire to be “connected” by distilling it into one core feature: the sensory feedback of physically caressing a screen. The sole content of the Blockedt! app, a “white void,” sends up digital start-up culture's fixation on flashy, stop-gap solutions and sleek aesthetics—anodyne all-white interfaces that implicitly, perhaps inadvertently, convey whiteness as a default.

Blue Film No. 6: Love Is Where You Find It
Barbara Hammer
1998, 3:06 min, color, silent, 16 mm film on video

Blue Film No. 6: Love Is Where You Find It is a found porn flick: a threesome. Hammer excises the male part, retaining the two women and an amusing digest of voyeuristic platitudes.

Blue Moon Over
Lawrence Weiner
2001, 5:14 min, color, sound

With Blue Moon Over, Weiner extends his text-based works into a digital realm, positing aphorisms and epigrammatic phrases that investigate language, acquisition and desire. Employing a visual system that suggests flowcharts, horizon lines and diagrams, Blue Moon Over is structured as a series of seamlessly animated sequences of drawings and text fragments. Through subtle manipulations, Weiner engages in linguistic tricks and metamorphoses that visually manifest his conceptual inquiries.

Blue, Red, Yellow
Jaime Davidovich
1974, 34 min, color, silent

In this conceptual performance, Davidovich "paints" on an electronic canvas in the three primary colors of the color wheel, by covering a TV screen with adhesive tape: first blue, then red, then yellow.
