EYEBEAM Assembly | Barbara London and Charles Atlas in Conversation

We are seeking volunteers at the Eyebeam for the following shifts:

Tuesday, April 23, 2019 from 3-7 PM and 5-9PM

Volunteers will work in set-up, supporting guest artists, and greeting guests

Event Description:


Join us on Tuesday, April 23rd for the second in the series of intimate conversations between celebrated curator Barbara London, and artists she has worked with and admired throughout her seminal career.

London will sit down with pioneering filmmaker and video artist Charles Atlas to discuss four of the artist’s works that reflect distinct but related approaches to a productive video practice of more than four decades. Produced between 1975 and 2015, the featured work will include single-channel video, an installation based on a reworking of the artist’s earlier project of 1971, a made for television documentary about the downtown New York music scene, and a recent immersive installation.

For four decades, London paved the way for media artists at MoMA, founding the museum’s video and media art collection and curating its first ever show on sound art. Phaidon will release her book, Video/Art, the First Fifty Years, in January 2020. Atlas is widely known for his prolific work spanning across mediums and collaborative practice, and was central to the development of media-dance, a genre in which original performance work is created for the camera.

All volunteers receive a limited edition Eyebeam tote bag!
