Mindframes - Media Study at Buffalo 1973-1990Die Ausstellung »MindFrames. Media Study at Buffalo 1973–1990« (16.12.2006–25.03.2007) am ZKM | Medienmuseum gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in die Arbeit des Department of Media Study an der State University of New York at Buffalo, einem Ort, der die Entwicklung der Medienkunst entscheidend geprägt hat. In den 1970er und 1980er Jahren entwickelte sich das Department of Media Study zu der vielleicht einflussreichsten Schule für Medien im 20. Jahrhundert. Unter der Leitung des Gründers Gerald O’Grady unterrichteten dort die mittlerweile kanonisierten strukturalistischen Avantgardefilmer Hollis Frampton, Tony Conrad und Paul Sharits, der Dokumentarfilmer James Blue, die Videokünstler Steina und Woody Vasulka sowie Peter Weibel. Das gesamte Spektrum der Medienkunst – vom fotografischen Bild zur Diainstallation, von der Musikperformance zur Film- und Videoperformance, vom Film zur Filminstallation, vom Videotape zum Video-Environment, von der Computergrafik zur interaktiven Installation – wurde von ihnen in umfangreichen Werkblöcken wegweisend vorbereitet und verwirklicht. Der Titel MindFrames zeigt an, dass in dieser Zeit und an diesem Ort die Referenzrahmen der Medienkunst neu gesetzt und erweitert wurden und der Wandel von der Filmkunst zum Diskurs des (visuellen) Codes vorangetrieben wurde. Die Ausstellung wurde kuratiert von Woody Vasulka, Steina und Peter Weibel mit Thomas Thiel. ///The exhibition »MindFrames. Media Study at Buffalo 1973–1990« (16.12.2006–25.03.2007) at ZKM | Media Museum celebrates a unique context, specifically a geographic and time-bound situation within which a mixture of brilliant avant-garde film makers and video artists, under the leadership of a media visionary, found themselves together in one place, where for the first time a department of media art was created within a university setting. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Department of Media Study at the State University of New York at Buffalo became one of these places of, teaching and mediating, in the area of Media Art, developing into what was perhaps to the most influential school for media in the twentieth century. Teaching there under the leadership of the founder Gerald O’Grady were the (meanwhile canonized) structuralist, avant-garde filmmakers Hollis Frampton, Tony Conrad, and Paul Sharits, documentary filmmaker James Blue, video artists Steina and Woody Vasulka, and Peter Weibel. At an early stage, they prepared and realized extensive work blocks showing the way for the entire spectrum of Media Art—from photographic image to slide installation, from music performance to film and video performance, from film to film installation, from videotape to video environment, from computer graphics to interactive installation. The exhibitionw as curated by Steina and Woody Vasulka, Peter Weibel with Thomas Thiel.
