"Shifted From the Side is stylistically similar to To And Fro. Fro And To. And To And Fro. And Fro and To, and was probably made the same afternoon, in the back of the Leo Castelli Gallery. The object used to demonstrate five possibilities (of what could, but not necessarily should, be the work) is a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes. As in the first tape, the camera is static. The pack is on the right side of the screen; as the work and text are spoken the pack is slid (shifted) back and forth. The hand leaves the object each time an act is completed before sliding it (from side to side) across the table." — Alice Weiner
Shoot is a bold, theatrical work that merges the autobiographical with the cultural. Acconci's performance is an assault, a barrage of aggressive action, visuals and language. Vulgar and outrageous, Acconci plays out the nightmare of the American Dream.
"In Shut the Fuck Up, General Idea underline the media's insistence that only gossip and spectacle make art and artists interesting to the public.

Sibling Topics (section a) is one of seven works in Trecartin's 2009-10 Rotation. Kevin McGarry writes, "Sibling Topics adopts a narrative and style that is more cinematic than any of Trecartin's other or previous videos....Family is the central theme of Sibling Topics—post-family, to be precise. Trecartin returns to his conception of family-as-business-enterprise (I-Be Area), casting parent figures as managers and executives on one end of the spectrum, estranged children as freelancers on the other."
Combining live footage with animated drawings, text, and diagrams, Sink or Swim comments on the precarious relationship between knowledge, perception and language. "With the knowledge that the Earth is flat," reads one of Weiner's gnomic phrases, "it's a snap to get to the point." With recurring visual and linguistic references to water and sky, Weiner creates a playful grammar of graphic representations.

Combining perhaps the only footage from the first Women’s International Day march in San Francisco and rare footage of the second National Lesbian Conference at UCLA, Sisters! is a joyous and vital landmark in feminist, queer, and lesbian filmmaking.
