Gerry Schum.

KUNSTHALLE DUSSELDORF

"Dear Mr. Youngblood, I am afraid, this article or letter will be the late-late-late show for your book Expanded Cinema." Gerry Schum's brief contribution to Youngblood's groundbreaking publication was a curious moment of procrastination for someone at the center of discussions of the use of television as an artistic medium. Dusseldorf revisits Schum's signal contribution to the history of video art with this comprehensive show, including the artist's TV Gallery, 1968-70, and Video Gallery 1970-73. The retrospective, curated by Ulrike Groos, Barbara Hess, and Ursula Wevers, will also comprise early documentary stage productions, television interventions, and editions, as well as previously unseen material from the artist's estate. Dec. 14-Mar. 14.
