From 'Object Lessons: Case Studies in Minimal Art—The @guggenheim @panzacollection Initiative:' Video Stills from Lawrence Weiner’s 1970 “TO THE SEA / ON THE SEA / FROM THE SEA / AT THE SEA / BORDERING THE SEA,” made with Gerry Schum, founder and director of the Fernsehgalerie (Television Gallery) in Berlin and Hanover. “Weiner produced a video presentation of as his contribution to Schum’s second television exhibition, ‘Identifications,’ which was broadcast on West German television on November 30, 1970. The 36-minute program featured short films and videos by 20 American and European artists, including Joseph Beuys, Daniel Buren, Gilbert & George, Mario Merz and Richard Serra. In Weiner’s 50-second black-and-white video, which was shot by Schum on the Dutch coast, each phrase appears in white letters on a black background and is followed by footage of the artist executing a corresponding action: he walks toward the sea (TO THE SEA); he places a log on the sea (ON THE SEA); he picks up the floating log and brings it back to the beach (FROM THE SEA); he stands on the beach with the log (AT THE SEA); finally, he walks away from the camera along the sea (BORDERING THE SEA). The soundtrack consists of only the sound of breaking waves.” Read more via linkinbio. Edited with text by Francesca Esmay, Ted Mann, Jeffrey Weiss. Preface by Nancy Spector, Lena Stringari.
