Temporary Sequence. #4
Gill Arno
Brooklyn, NY: G. Arno. 2003

"I began this series of booklets to keep a record of the projections done for the Seasonal series of mixed media events. As Season brought together sounds and visuals in a diaologically open environment, I became interested in the idea of exploring the relationships between these found slidesÑmnemonic fragments that had lost connection with their original context.
The bookletÕs layout reflects the typical performance setup, where two projection screens were juxtaposed in a room allowing for the way in which narratives can develop in the mind of the observer. I see these narratives as mental lines, an invisible web connecting people and situations actually distant in both space and time. Various degrees of exhibitionism and voyeurism interlock to create an experience that is ultimately quite personal and subjective." ÐArtistÕs Statement

A Pedestrian Blockade
Bill Beirne
New York, NY: Collation Center. 1977

'A Pedestrian Blockade' was performed on March 11, 1972 by Carolyn Haas, Linda Meskof, and Paul Stitelman at the intersection of 57th Street and Madison Avenue in New York City from 4:45 to 4:50. The work is representative of several street performances Bill Beirne has executed since 1970 and exemplifies his concern with the direct interaction of art and its audience outside the usual art context. In this particular work, the performers appear first to be one with the pedestrians but by maintaining the same position for five minutes their activity - which is aesthetically based - begins to distinguish itself from the routine activity of the pedestrians.
