The title N r Here Neither The

might suggest the difficulty in assign-ing and encapsulating an exhibition with a title, a difficulty that hasbecome the motor for the curatorial prerogative of this exhibition . Theexhibition did not begin with an agenda nor did it arrive at one. This isnot to suggest that the position occupied is ideologically wishy-washy, Itis not meant to ride the fence but to respond to current conditions of art-making in their particularities. The artists include Doug Aitken, TomBurr, Willie Cole, Stan Douglas, Valie Export, Chris Finley, SuzanneGarrison, Ideal Copy, Sharon Lockhart, Mythter, Lorraine O'Grady,5pandau Parks, Cynthia Stewart and Nari Ward . The show was cueatedby Charles Gaines, Paul McCarthy, Stephen Prlna, and Fran Seegull,

"Nor Here Nellher Tire,@" is presented in the Peter Norm, Family Gallery, the Fred and JanetKessler Gallery, the Video gallery and the Performance gallery, Funding for this projectwas pro-vided by the Cultural Affairs Department of tire City of Los Angeles and the Nat unal Endcvlmedtfor tire Arls . Gallery hours are Wednesday through 5unday 12-5 pm . A catalog Will be puhnsbedas a document of the exhlbilior later this summer.

Il wouId be dIfficult to imagine the development of the elec-tronic arts, especially with regard to the moving image, with-out the contributions of Steina and Woody Vasillka . Sincethe 1960s they have investigated electronic technology andmedia as a cultural environment that carries with it a newvisual ontology and a potential for perceptualexploration-All of their work is in some way connected to a fundamentalagenda : to interrogate the intrinsic properties of the machineas cultural code and to explore the latent and overt perceptualchanges that emerge.

So real l5 and arotherhoud: Table I II are presented io the Peter Norton FamilyGallery and the Video Gallery. Maior funding fQrthis project has been provided bythe Lannan Foundation . Additional support has been provided by the City of LosAngeles Cultural Affairs Department and lire National Endowment for the Arts .
