Sounding the Gallery explores the first decade of creative video
work, focusing on the ways in which video technology was used to
dissolve the boundaries between art and music. Becoming
commercially available in the mid 1960s, video quickly became
integral to the intense experimentalism of New York City's music
and art scenes. The medium was able to record image and sound at
the same time, which allowed composers to visualize their music and
artists to sound their images in a quick and easy manner. But video
not only provided artists and composers with the opportunity to
produce unprecedented forms of audiovisuality; it also allowed them
to create interactive spaces that questioned conventional habits of
music and art consumption. Early video's audiovisual synergy could
be projected, manipulated and processed live. The closed-circuit
video feed drew audience members into the heart of the audiovisual
experience, from where they could influence the flow, structure and
sound of the video performance. Such activated spectatorship
resulted in improvisatory and performative events in which the
space between artists, composers, performers and visitors collapsed
into a single, yet expansive, intermedial experience. Many believed
that such audiovisual video work signalled a brand-new art form
that only began in 1965. Using early video work as an example, this
book suggests that this is inaccurate. During the twentieth
century, composers were experimenting with spatializing their
sounds, while artists were attempting to include time as a creative
element in their visual work. Pioneering video work allowed these
two disciplines to come together, acting as a conduit that
facilitated the fusion and manipulation of pre-existing elements.
Shifting the focus from object to spatial process, Sounding the
Gallery uses theories of intermedia, film, architecture, drama and
performance practice to create an interdisciplinary history of
music and art that culminates in the rise of video art-music in the
late 1960s.
