Empire by Andy Warhol (film)

"Empire consists of a single stationary shot of the Empire State Building filmed from 8:06 p.m. to 2:42 a.m., July 25–26, 1964. The eight-hour, five-minute film, which is typically shown in a theater, lacks a traditional narrative or characters. The passage from daylight to darkness becomes the film’s narrative, while the protagonist is the iconic building that was (and is again) the tallest in New York City. Warhol lengthened Empire's running time by projecting the film at a speed of sixteen frames per second, slower than its shooting speed of twenty-four frames per second, thus making the progression to darkness almost imperceptible. Non-events such as a blinking light at the top of a neighboring building mark the passage of time. According to Warhol, the point of this film—perhaps his most famous and influential cinematic work—is to "see time go by."

The work on view is a two hour, twenty-four minute excerpt. The film will be screened in its entirety in the Museum theaters during the run of this exhibition."

If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.

Shooting Picture by Niki de Saint Phalle

"I shot because it was fun and made me feel great. I shot because I was fascinated watching the painting bleed and die. I shot for the moment of magic. It was a moment of scorpionic truth. White purity Sacrifice. Ready. Aim. Fire. Red, yellow, blue--the painting is crying, the painting is dead. I have killed the painting. It is reborn. War with no victims."

Literaturwurst (Literature Sausage) by Dieter Roth

Each book was made using traditional sausage recipes, but replacing the sausage meat with a book or magazine. The cover of the edition was then pasted onto the skin of the sausage and signed and dated.
