The Wall
Gordon Matta-Clark
1976-2007, 15:04 min, color, sound, 16 mm film and video

This newly assembled work is a rare document of a 1976 Matta-Clark performance in Berlin.

Dissuaded by friends from such a suicidal action, the result was the following performance." The film records Matta-Clark as he stencils 'Made in America' on the Wall, affixes commercial advertisements over graffiti, and has a run-in with the police.

Theme Song
Vito Acconci 
1973, 33:15 min, b&w, sound

In Theme Song, Acconci uses video as close-up to establish a perversely intimate relation with the viewer, creating a personal space in which to talk directly to (and manipulate) the spectator.

There Is Nothing Underneath the West Virginia Wing
Frank Heath
2018, 16:37 min, color, sound, HD video

Deep below the Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, is a vast and elaborate underground bomb shelter. Established as part of the secret Continuity of Government program, to house members of Congress in the event of a nuclear attack, the bunker is now declassified and open for public tours. This film documents the eerie spaces of the vacant shelter, its remarkable blast doors which were engineered by the Mosler Vault Company, and the dedicated staff who continue to care for it.

They are lost to vision altogether
Tom Kalin
1989, 12:56 min, b&w and color, sound

Kalin writes: "They are lost to vision altogether acts as erotic retaliation on legislation such as the Supreme Court sodomy ruling — declaring the private bedroom as open target for the State — or the Helms Amendment — the U.S government's refusal to fund explicit AIDS prevention information for...

Velez writes: "This and That is a road movie about forgetting — and being forgotten. Shot over a period of six years while traveling through France, Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, and Puerto Rico, it is a document of failed loves, death and how neither vengeance nor pardon can modify the past."

This Is My Blue Period
Julia Heyward
1977, 31:28 min, color, sound

A documentation of a 1977 performance at Artists Space (NYC), This Is My Blue Period is a surreal monologue featuring four of the artist's poems. At once incantation, song, and internal monologue, here Heyward performs multiple layers of narrative and semantic meaning that suggest the mutability and slippage of language.
