David Lamelas: Films 1969-1972/2004

Edited by Nicolas Trembley.
Published by JRP|Ringier/BDV Bureau des videos

This DVD brings together, for the first time, nine films produced between 1969 and 1972 by David Lamelas, a pioneer in Conceptual cinema and art. The Buenos Aires-born and Los Angeles-based artist introduced the notion of real-time information in the gallery with the 1968 Venice Biennale installation, Office of Information About the Vietnam War. His films include A Study of Relationships Between Inner and Outer Space (1969), which explores the organization of cinematic production within the exhibition space, expanding out to take in views of the city and then current events: in another kind of space, men had recently landed on the moon. Altogether, this collection clarifies the value of Lamelas' work--which has recently appeared at the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis--as an incisive analysis of the information age and a forbear of contemporary video and multimedia work. Includes notes on every film and an interview with the artist.
