Greetings from L.A.: Artists and Publics, 1950–1980
In the 1970s, Los Angeles artists found innovative ways of promoting their work and communicating with a broader public. Artists such as Chris Burden and Wolfgang Stoerchle broadcast their work on local television networks to advertise themselves. In Stoerchle's publicly aired
Event in 1970, he and a gymnast break through various plaster pieces as part of the artist's MFA thesis project. This performance is one of several provocative video works currently on display in the exhibition.
