The Rhode Island School of Design Video Program Presents The Amazing Video Maze. One Dozen Video Games You Can Play And A Video Program of Tapes and Live Video Performances by RISD Students and the Electron Movers

no date, perhaps 1974. Single sheet, 14 by 11 inches. Provenance: from the collection of Alan Powell, an electronic media artist, and founding member of the Electron Movers. An advertisement for an event at RISD focusing on the use of videos in art, and as art. The main feature at this event was the video art collective known as the Electron Movers. The collective started in 1974 (and ended around 1979) as a group of five artists: Laurie McDonald, Robert Jungels, Dorothy Jungels, Dennis Hlynsky and Alan Powell. Three other artists joined later on. As McDonald notes on her website, the group "Explored the intersections of many disciplines, including film/video, music, dance, visual arts, electrical and optical engineering, challenging established moving image narrative formats in their attempt to explore video as a new language system." (See McDonald's website for previous quote). This broadside advertisement promotes a Sunday May 12 and Monday May 13 event at the RISD Auditorium. Based on our research, we believe this event was held in 1974. GOOD condition. Several tack holes along the top. Faint horizontal fold crease present. Some wrinkling and creasing to the corners. Small tear at the lower center edge, with the lower right corner torn away and missing. Some toning and minor soiling. Tape remains on the reverse.…
