[iDC] media curating as montage - 2 more historical lists

[Barbara Lattanzi]

Hello all.

Here are 2 more curatorial lists.  Each was written for media screenings 
that occurred in the 1980s.

The point is curatorial construction of a whole greater than the parts 
(the individual media works) - and what that process produces...the 
curatorial "text".

What happens to the curatorial text when the individual works are 
forgotten, lost, or worse...enter the canon?

How could the individual works get reinterpreted through a curatorial 
process that parallels the structuring of the individual works themselves?

Artists Space, NYC, 1986.  You can link to a pdf file that reproduces
