About the Program
Presented by VIVO Media Arts and curated by Jen Weih and Andrew Power, re: live was a two part event combining a video screening (November 17, 2001) and a subsequent panel discussion (November 22, 2001), addressing both the historical and contemporary relationship between performance and video art. Performance and video find a common legacy somewhere in the confluence of the Happening and Porta-pack in the late sixties. Since then the video and performance arts have been participating in a process of cross-fertilization, as performance works often persist through video documentation, and video, with its persistent affinity for the real, routinely appropriates the aesthetics of documentation. re: live sought to address the evolving relations of these mediums through a variety of questions: What is the value of the ephemeral? Has the performer's in-situ audience become a spectacle for the remote viewer? Has the camera eclipsed the audience? Are we now privileged to witness the dissolution between mediums as everything becomes 'media'? What is gained through mediation and what is lost? Panelists included Judy Radul, Warren Arcand, Meesoo Lee, and Tagny Duff, facilitated by Randy Lee Cutler.Moderator
