Head of a Sad Young Woman
March 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019
One of the most influential pioneers of video art, peter campus began making single-channel videos and interactive installations in the early 1970s. He is widely acclaimed for his videos, installations, and large body of photographic work, which focuses on psychological and physiological states and explores the relationship between the subject, viewer, and artist.
Head of a Sad Young Woman (1976–1977) is a tightly cropped portrait of a woman positioned close to the camera. She is still and stares into the lens for the entire length of the videotape. Intensified by campus’ use of high-contrast black-and-white video, the woman conveys intense sadness as she seems to glower at the viewer. In this Midnight Moment iteration of Head of a Sad Young Woman, campus suggests a quiet power the woman has over viewers as her gaze towers over Times Square.
“i asked the person participating to sit in front of the camera not as an object, but as someone projecting to the camera some feeling, some thought, non-verbally; i asked them to look at the lens as steadily as they could for the entire length of the video cassette, twelve minutes. at the end of the recording we looked together at the video, and made adjustments separately, she in her performance, i to the visual components. then recorded again, and again until we were satisfied.”

“Faced with her melancholy, it is hard not to reflect on recent discussions about sexual misconduct, reproductive rights, and inequality. The work’s monumental size and emphasis on looking also creates the sensation that one is being observed. In a world dominated by smart devices, drones, and companies selling customer data, the questions of surveillance and who controls our image are especially relevant. The introspection invited by this work is displayed to its full advantage in the context of Times Square — a location that embodies the breadth of human experience.”
— Cristin Tierney, Cristin Tierney Gallery
Head of a Sad Young Woman is presented in partnership with The Bronx Museum of the Arts’ survey exhibition peter campus: video ergo sum, on view March 6–July 22, 2019, and on the occasion of the artist’s public discussion at The Armory Show with Tina Rivers Ryan, Assistant Curator at the Albright-Knox Gallery, on March 10th at 3:00pm. Cristin Tierney Gallery will also have a booth of campus’ single-channel videos on display at the fair from March 6-10, 2019 in the Galleries section in booth #827, and the gallery will open at its new location — 219 Bowery, Floor 2 — with work by campus on view.

peter campus (born 1937, New York City) is a seminal artist in the canons of new media and video art. After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Experimental Psychology from Ohio State University in 1960, he studied at the City College Film Institute. He worked as a film editor and in film production, last for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He then followed his dream to be an artist, becoming a pioneer in video art in 1970. His initial video works were performance based, many made at WGBH in Boston at the New Television Workshop. He won a Guggenheim Foundation award in 1975, a National Endowment for the Arts grant the following year, and received a fellowship at MIT’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies in 1976. In 1971, he began to show his video installations in the U.S. and Europe and is still showing in ever widening circles. petercampus.net

Last Thursday multidisciplinary, shamanic artist ETTE exposed the name of her predator and took back her life. The show was powerful, prolific and empowering. “Whistle Blower” was co-produced by Derek Warburton.
Now you can go inside the performance that exposed who raped ETTE and the action she took to take her life back.
Sexual Violence Affects Millions of Americans
Younger People Are at the Highest Risk of Sexual Violence
- Ages 12-34 are the highest risk years for rape and sexual assault.3
- Those age 65 and older are 92% less likely than 12-24 year olds to be a victim of rape or sexual assault, and 83% less likely than 25-49 year olds.4
On Thursday multidisciplinary, shamanic artist ETTE exposed the name of her predator and took back her life. The show was powerful, prolific and empowering. My guest Elisabeta, writer ElizaBeth Taylor and I, all felt privileged to be apart of an act so brave and true. Abuse victims should NEVER feel the way they are made to feel.
Before the main event we talked with ETTE about her abuse and how prevalent abuse is in our society.
Her co-host Derek Warburton also shared his story and why he co-produced this amazing night.
Did you know?
Before that happened T2C had a chance to see her art show entitled “Whistle Blower”.
