"Since 1975, New York-based artist Roni Horn has made frequent solitary journeys to Iceland. These experiences have profoundly influenced her work, often found in the arenas of drawing, installation, photography, and books. This exhibition brings together photographs and drawings from these travels that reflect the artist's interest in the geography of this island (including its volcanic topography, geothermic waters, sheep pastures, and coastline), and the human relationship with it. Horn chooses dynamic ways of orienting her work in an exhibition space, often trying to adjust the viewer's relationship to the art. Expanding upon the ideas of site-specificity, Horn sees her work as site dependent, allowing the exhibition space to play an active role in the viewing experience. This physical experience works conjointly with themes of natural location in the artwork. As she explores in her travels in Iceland and elsewhere in the natural world, Horn's work describes a reflective relationship between human kind and nature that is constantly being remade"MIT List Visual Arts Center.

In 1966, a Bell Laboratories physicist brought a group of avant-garde artists together with 10 open-minded members of the science and technology fields for 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering, a series of investigatory Happenings which took place at the 69th Regiment Armory and were duly noted by critics Lucy Lippard and Brian O'Doherty. The resulting seminal performances included John Cage's Variations VII, in which 30 photocells were mounted around the performance space, activating a variety of sound sources -- including a blender, 20 radio channels and two Geiger counters -- as the performers moved around. An 88-page exhibition catalogue includes original essays, reprinted reviews of the original performances "9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering" by Lucy Lippard and Brian O'Doherty, and an interview with Herb Schneider (engineer)

American independent filmmaker Stan VanDerBeek (1927-1984) was one of the first to extend film projection into multimedia spectacle and to embrace video and computer technology: a supreme instance of what critic Gene Youngblood dubbed "Expanded Cinema."
Since the mid-1990s, Algerian-born, New York-based Adel Abdessemed has unerringly located and triggered the religious, sexual and racial taboos of our culture. This volume takes a broad look at Abdessemed's activities, from his "street acts" to more recent works.
