Revisions – Zen for Film, Bard Graduate Center, NY

Revisions—Zen for Film
Bard Graduate Center, New York
September 18, 2015–January 10, 2016
How do works of art endure over time in the face of aging materials and changing interpretations of their meaning? How do decay, technological obsolescence, and the blending of old and new media affect what an artwork is and can become? And how can changeable artworks encourage us to rethink our assumptions of a work of art as fixed and static? Revisions—Zen for Film, on view this fall and winter in the Bard Graduate Center Focus Gallery in New York, explores these questions through Zen for Film, one of the most evocative artworks by the Korean-American artist Nam June Paik (1932- 2006). Created during the early 1960s, Zen for Film consists of the screening of blank film leader for several minutes. As the film ages and wears in the projector, the viewer is confronted with a constantly evolving work. Revisions—Zen for Film provides a fresh perspective on an artwork with a rich history of display by asking precisely whathow, and when is Zen for Film?
Developed during a two-year Andrew W. Mellon “Cultures of Conservation” Fellowship at Bard Graduate Center, Revisions—Zen for Film offers a unique and intimately focused encounter with the materiality of Paik’s work, present here in one specific instance in a series stretch­ing back to the early 1960s.The rationale behind the project is to critically revise—and question—some assumptions about Zen for Film so as to foster a broad reflection not only about media that refuse simple classifications but also about artworks radically shaped by curatorial, conservation, and presentation deci­sions.
The digital interactive with contributions by BGC master’s students frames Zen for Film through conceptual associations that correspond to viewers’ experiences of it—boredom, chance, materiality, nothingness, silence, time, and trace. Through these concepts, Zen for Film is linked with a number of artworks that can be viewed as potential inspirations, antecedents, or contemporaries. Together these suggest issues of appropriation and continual reinterpretation. Included in the digital interactive are artworks by Cory Arcangel, John Baldessari, Robert Barry, Joseph Beuys, George Brecht, John Cage, Com&Com, Tony Conrad, Merce Cunningham, Guy Debord, Marcel Duchamp, Ceal Floyer, Ken Friedman, Yves Klein, Imi Knoebel, JODI (Joan Heemskerk / Dirk Paesmans), Joseph Kosuth, Christine Kozlov, Peter Kubelka, Kasimir Malevich, Christian Marclay, Nam June Paik, Robert Rauschenberg, Man Ray, Robert Ryman, Paul Sharits, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Mungo Thompson, Michel Verjux, Lawrence Weiner, and Andy Warhol.
The exhibition was curated by Hanna Hölling, Andrew W. Mellon Visiting Professor, Cultures of Conservation, at Bard Graduate Center.
The exhibition is accompanied by Revisions: Zen for Filma fully illustrated book by Hölling that offers an in-depth analysis of Zen for Film by con­structing a sequence of ten thematically ordered chapters, or “revisions,” spanning a theoretical-historical context and the frameworks of exhibition, dissemina­tion, and continuation.
Visit bgc.bard.edu/revisions for more information about the exhibition, to access the interactive and to find out about related public programs.  A symposium Revisions: Object—Event—Performance—Process since the 1960s with participating international scholars in film, performance, and curatorial and conservation studies will take place on September 21, 11:15am-6pm.
On September 24, 6:30pm-8:00pm, Curator’s Corner: On Curating Nam June Paik will focus on some of challenges posed by technology-based media in the extended field of conservation and curatorial practice (with Hanna Hölling and Michelle Yun).

Estimates Request: Maintenance of Outdoor Bronze Statuary – City of Livermore (Livermore, CA)

Location: Livermore, CA (Northern CA, east San Francisco Bay Area, east Alameda County)
Artwork: Sunday with Jessie by Susan Geissler
Medium: Bronze traditional patinas with some acrylic paint
Dimensions: 34” tall (boy) x 45” long (two figures) (Figures are attached.)
Request:  an estimate of maintenance costs and schedule for on-going maintenance of this new piece after initial installation
Background: A donor has offered to contribute the above statuary to our City.  We currently have a few small outdoor bronze or metal statuary, but none have ever been maintained.  The above piece would be placed in a well-traveled location and would attract much attention from children and adults.  I would expect it to be touched regularly and we would want to keep it maintained.  We are considering contracting with a service for the maintenance of all our outdoor statuary and would issue an RFP when we are ready to move forward.  In the meantime I need an estimate of the on-gong maintenance costs for the above piece so that our City Council can determine whether or not to accept the donation.  I have a Tuesday, 9/8 deadline to submit this information.
Providing an estimate will not obligate anyone.  If the City accepts the donation we will move forward with the issuance of an RFP for a firm to provide the maintenance for this piece and possibly all of the City’s pieces.
Please let me know if you are able to help me with my request.  I have received one estimate, but I’d like to have one or two more to use as a comparison.  The estimate that I received was for:
One annual waxing of bronze elements and cleaning of painted surfaces – 3 hours
A second 6 monthly cleaning, and inpainting of any damages – 2-3 hours
Annual report and photography – 1hour
The sculptor recommended washing/waxing at least once per year but only estimated one hour or less per event.  I don’t want to overinflate my estimate of maintenance costs to my City Council and would appreciate any additional information that I can get in the next few days.
Thanks so much,
Rebecca Cox

Job Posting: Third and fourth positions in Navy Conservation Branch – Naval History and Heritage Command (Richmond, VA)

The Collection Management Division of the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) is advertising vacancies in its new four-person Conservation Branch.  The third and final announcement can be found at
https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/414369800
The closing date of the announcement is September 4, 2015.  Note that this announcement is for two positions at the GS-11 level.
NHHC, headquartered at the Washington Navy Yard, is responsible for the preservation, analysis, and dissemination of U.S. naval history and heritage.  NHHC activities include the Navy art and artifact collections, underwater archeology, Navy histories, the Navy Department Library, the Navy Operational Archives, nine museums, USS Constitution’s repair facility and the historic ship Nautilus.
In the past year, NHHC has consolidated its historic artifact collection into a single Collection Management Facility at the Defense Supply Center, Richmond VA, and has brought on staff to manage the collection there.  This summer we are establishing a four-person Conservation Branch at the Richmond facility to undertake conservation of selected artifacts from across the NHHC enterprise, conduct site visits to Navy museums around the country, and provide care guidelines for artifacts on Navy installations but not in NHHC’s custody – for example, outdoor ordnance displays.  We are in the early stages of fitting out a laboratory for the branch’s use.
The branch will be staffed by a GS-1015-13 Branch Head (announcement already closed), a GS-1015-12 Lead Conservator (also already closed), and two GS-1015-11 Conservators (this announcement).  All applicants should understand that this is a new operation, with all of the opportunities and uncertainties that implies.
