Video: State of the Art Bibliography
Prepared by Johanna Gill (Ph.D., Brown University; teaches at the Massachusetts College of Art) and prefaced by Howard Klein (Director for Arts, Rockefeller Foundation; June 1976), this report documents video artists, groups and centers across the United States and Canada. It traces the medium's emergence around 1968–69 with portable portapak equipment and profiles practitioners such as Nam June Paik and Les Levine. It surveys centers such as KQED/NCET and WGBH and notes institutional support from the Rockefeller Foundation and the New York State Council for the Arts.
