Artists + Models
Cheryl Donegan
1998, 4:43 min, b&w, sound

In this black and white performance tape, Donegan continues her ironic exploration of the process of making art. Working within the format of a music video, Donegan plays with notions of artist and model, subject and object, and the "painterly gesture."

As Is:
Edin Velez
1984, 11:28 min, color, sound

As Is: is a mythical interpretation of New York City, from the grand theater of its urban architecture to its diverse ethnic heritage.

Ask the Goddess
Carolee Schneemann
1991, 8:24 min, color, sound

Ask the Goddess is a provocative performance in which Schneemann interacts with the audience by responding to sexual and psychic dilemmas read from cards they have submitted. A continuous relay of projected slides comprises an iconography of Goddess symbols, taboo and sacred, as Schneemann reacts spontaneously to the questions.

Available Space
Barbara Hammer
1979, 20 min, color, sound, 16 mm film on video

"Available Space is a film made for performance on a 360 degree rotary projection table. A woman breaks through confining architectural space, the limited space of a film frame, and the boundaries of a movie screen. Unexpected angles, corners, slants, floor and ceiling are engaged in unexpected play and projection. The film can also be shown as a single channel without live performance." — Barbara Hammer

AWGTHTGTWTA
Tony Oursler
2008, 6:22 min, color, sound

AWGTHTGTWTA is one of a series of video works in which Oursler explores the idea of the "chorus." Oursler asked high school and middle school students in Manhattan, many of whom are recent immigrants, to describe their ideal or fantasy places. The resulting piece brings together scenes of the students reciting text in unison, excerpts of their imaginative responses to Oursler's question, and found footage of the online gaming, shorthand sms text messaging, and YouTube improvisational recordings that characterize their environment.
