Ture,
As you
rightly say, there is a sense in which the American artists have
written
everybody else out of the history of video art. I would like to
put some
people (such as yourself) back in! I would like to use an image
or two from
the stills of Monument that I have found on the web, but
they are very low
resolution. Would you be willing to e-mail an image of
greater resolution?
(300dpi would be best- jpeg or tiff, if possible)
also, i attach a little
form so that you grant me the rights to
reproduce the image in the book. Is
this OK? if so, please fill it in
and send it back to me.
I would like
to do more than simply paraphrase what Gene (Youngblood)
has written in
Expanded Cinema, which as you say is what M. Rush has
done. Any chance that
you can tell me a little bit more about your ideas
with Monument and how it
began? I will of course piece togther what I
can from the web site, and from
what Aapo Saask has written. I also will
talk to Brian Hoey and Peter
Donebauer. i also have the Biddick Farm
catalogue from the exhibtion at Tyne
& Wear, which has a little info.
All best wishes to you- and i will
certainly send your regards to Brian
&
Peter!!!
