Seller's Description:
VG-(Few labels & marks as ex-library; slight wear to edges, otherwise clean. ) Color illus. wraps, 206 pp., many BW & color illus. Issued in conjunction with a series of 1997-2000 exhibitions of selected work from 1972-1996 rendered by contemporary video artist Bill Viola (b. 1951). With an introduction by David A. Ross, an artist interview conducted by Lewis Hyde, an exhibition history, a bibliography, a chronology, and many illustrated examples of his work. "Bill Viola (b. 1951) is widely acknowledged as the leading video artist on the international scene. His video installations-total environments that envelop the viewer in image and sound-employ sophisticated state-of-the-art technologies and are distinguished by their precision and direct simplicity." "This catalogue has been published in conjunction with "Bill Viola, " the first major survey of the artist's work and the largest exhibition ever devoted to an individual video artist, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art and curated by David A. Ross and Peter Sellars." "The book features a dynamic and visually rich selection of works from 1972 to 1996, in a presentation compiled by Kira Perov and Bill Viola, with written descriptions by the artist, and a conversation between Viola and poet/scholar Lewis Hyde on the spiritual roots and cultural traditions underlying Viola's art. There is also an overview of the artist's achievement by David A. Ross, Whitney Museum director, who has been involved with Viola's work since its beginning and, as the first museum curator of video art, has played a major role in the history and development of the field."--Jacket. Contents as follows: Foreword: A feeling for the things themselves / David Ross--Selected works 1972-1996 / Kira Perov and Bill Viola--Conversation / Lewis Hyde and Bill Viola--Selected works 1972-1996: catalogue.
