This event is part of a monthly screening series with The Film-Makers’  
Cooperative.

The program launches two videos which examine the construction of  
performance, both which are distributed by the Film-makers’ Coop. One  
comes from the perspective of contemporary art practice, the other as  
a strategic query into ways in which veracity and information are  
constructed and disseminated into a cultural mainstream.


Giornalisti En Maschera by Peter Cramer and Jack Waters
(2009, USA, 30 minutes, DVD)

Did painting die, or simply meiotically reproduce as video art? Has  
nationalism outlived its cultural relevance? These familiar questions  
and others are reconstituted and posed at the press previews of the  
2001Venice Biennial. The drector/performers investigate relations of  
art, business, and politics in the guise of objective journalists  
three months preceding 9/11.  Interviewees include Special Prize  
winners Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller (Canada), and other  
artists; woven together with excerpts from Thomas Mann’s Death in  
Venice.




Söma Söma Söma by Peter Cramer
(200o, USA, 34 minutes, DVD)

Examining three generations of conceptual, performance, and  
installation by artists Geoffrey Hendricks, William Pope L., and Patty  
Chang with interviews and footage of their exhibition performances. A  
documentary video of the exhibition of the same title curated by  
William Pope L. at NYC’s Sculpture Center in 2000 at its former  
location on East 69th St. Originally conceived as a private commission  
by artist Geoffrey Hendricks to document his performances, Cramer &  
Waters had access to include the artists regarding their participation  
to provide a wider context for the exhibition.
