In the 1960s, the decade that saw astronauts land on the moon, artists were
likewise seeking to expand boundaries of time and space and to have new
experiences. At the same time, portable video equipment reached the consumer
market—suddenly simultaneity and "now," the present and the past, became
content. Musicians led the way in developing new working methods, and music was
at the forefront of interdisciplinary experimentation during the early days of
media art. This exhibition looks at the dynamic connections that occurred from
the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s with a display of early media works by Nam June
Paik, Bruce Nauman, Steve Reich, Joan Jonas, Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, and
David Bowie presented alongside related drawings, prints, and photographs by
John Cage, Jack Smith, Ray Johnson, and others.
