Abstract:

"[MUSE] judges said: The strength of this video lies in the exploration of Louise Nevelson's impact on other artists and her continued influence on many aspects of the art world. Through the work and viewpoints of six artists we see Nevelson's work through new eyes and discover the true depth of her legacy. Producers said: The Jewish Museum wanted a video about Louise Nevelson that would present a fresh perspective on this renowned 20th century sculptor, and augment the first retrospective of her work in almost 30 years. So MediaCombo produced Louise Nevelson: A Conversation With Six Artists, the first program to look at Nevelson's continuing significance to younger artists, two decades after her death. In order to display the breadth of her influence on contemporary artists we interviewed Alice Aycock, Jessica Stockholder, Jean Shin, R M Fischer, Willie Cole and Jonathan VanDyke. They speak animatedly about their first impressions of Nevelson's sculpture, and draw surprising parallels between her work and theirs. Nevelson was very much her own creation and she continues to be a role model for artists today who want to defy conventions"--Http://www.mediaandtechnology.org/muse/2008_video.html (as viewed on 05/05/2010).
