Material Apparatus
Cheekwood Museum of Art, Nashville
March 19 – September 18

Material Apparatus features videos from artists that use the medium in unexpected ways. These works go beyond using video to document a performance or to create a linear narrative. Video, in this case, is an actual element of the work, used as a tool to help create structural environments.

These artists approach this subject in different ways; humor, balance studies, sewing, drug addiction, and the use of BB guns. Artists include Maria Pithara, Jacob Tonski, William Lamson, Jill Wissmiller, Otto Berchem and Amelia Winger-Bearskin.

I love culture.

I love money.

I love when culture has money.

I even don’t mind saying that I love it even more when I get some of that money.

Which is why I found myself at the Leidseplein this afternoon to protest the misguided budget cuts for the arts, that will (most likely) soon blight the Netherlands.

True, I would have hoped that the Dutch cultural sector would have come up with a more creative, and less grating, protest than broadcasting a bunch of irritating theatrical types “screaming for culture”, but hey, it was what it was.

One question: where were the artists?
