Video Device: Volume 1, The Mothers Of Us All

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

We knew we loved UBU WEB, the unmatched archive of avant-garde sound, poetics, and beyond. How else were we going to hear those old recordings of the Dadaists? But now that UBU is offering experimental film and video, we thought a reminder was due about this amazing - okay - mind-blowing resource. Bookmark this. And then reinvigorate everything you’re doing right now by getting up close and digital with Laurie Anderson, Pina Bausch, Samuel Beckett, Robert Ashley, Richard Foreman, Meredith Monk, Jack Smith, The Wooster Group, Yoko Ono and about a hundred other artists. And yes, the Dadaists!  We at Paper Theatre hope to start offering more video content that speaks to artists working with text. What better way to kick off that project than going back to the source. And now we’re not getting any writing done because we’re watching video art. When you get sucked in too, write us a comment telling us your favorites.
