Vito Acconci, Steven Poser, Jaime Davidovich. Original (raw unedited) recording, 3 reels, each tape runs about 28'.(BOXES G; CC; DD). Three unedited tapes (numbered 1, 2, and 3) re-recorded to DVCam and DVD digital formats in 2008. Summary of #2: much of interview is conducted from behind the camera by Jaime Davidovich, with occasional comments and questions from Steven Poser in front of the camera. The camera stays in tight focus on Acconi's face for nearly the whole tape. Discussion focuses on the assumption that the group of early performance artists made about how they were revolutionizing art, but in fact they came to produce "documentation" that could be placed on walls (and therefore could be sold by galleries and collected by individuals and museums like traditional art) rather than reproduced in magazine and other "non-art" venues. About 20:00, discussion shifts to Acconi's more recent "Peoplemobile" project in Holland in which a flatbed truck with an installation piece traveled between several cities. Tape ends abruptly as Acconi begins to leave the table for documentation of this project that he has brought with him."--Artists Television Network finding aid."
