Abstract

Rodney Graham's Phonokinetoscope (2001) is a five-minute 16mm film loop in which the artist is seen riding his Fischer Original bicycle through Berlin's Tiergarten while taking LSD, to the soundtrack of a fifteen-minute song (written and performed by Graham) recorded on a vinyl LP. The turntable drives the projection of the film; the film starts when the needle is placed on the record and stops when the needle is taken off. Graham's ride evokes the Swiss scientist Albert Hoffman's famous 1943 bicycle ride home after an experimental dose of LSD as well as Paul Newman's backward-facing ride in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; the accompanying music presents a thicket of riffs and borrowings. As the images and visual details repeat in the film's endless loop, the artist's Phonokinetoscope refers to a surprising number of works of art and literature, displaying a world rich with subtle meaning. In this illustrated study of Phonokinetoscope, Shep Steiner describes the work as marking Graham's transition into a new medium. Steiner positions Graham's practice in relation to postminimalist practice and that of other artists including Dan Graham, but especially, Ian Wallace and Jeff Wall; considers Graham's rhetoric of playfulness; and finally, beyond the web of references, argues for a notion of allegory and memory theater keyed to the durational work yet satisfying the aesthetic standards of static art. Phonokinetoscope, Steiner argues, looks back to Graham's earlier works focusing on the notion of protocinema and forward to his later musical preoccupations.

Abstract

"Ce livre est le résultat de 22 500 kilomètres à vélo et quatre années en bibliothèque. Il décrit la vie des habitants de la France de la fin du XVIIe au début du XXe siècle. C'est le guide historique que j'aurais voulu lire lorsque je me suis lancé à la découverte de la France". Chaque été depuis vingt ans, Graham Robb, spécialiste de littérature et cycliste chevronné, parcourt avec son épouse les routes de France. De leurs pérégrinations est né ce livre extraordinaire, qui emmène le lecteur en promenade dans les chemins buissonniers de notre histoire : où l'on découvre le sort tragique de l'homme qui cartographia le premier, eu 1740, le mont Gerbier-de-Jonc ; où l'on apprend l'issue cocasse de la bataille de Roquecézière, qui déchira eu 1884 deux villages voisins de l'Aveyron ; où l'on s'étonne des déboires linguistiques de Racine, lequel eut toutes les peines du monde, lors d'un voyage en Provence en 1661, à se faire comprendre. Au lecteur de se laisser guider par la plume savoureuse de cet explorateur venu d'outre-Manche : en remontant le cours de l'Histoire pour plonger au cœur d'une France encore sauvage et indomptée, il découvrira un pays dont il ne soupçonnait pas l'existence.

Abstract

This title offers a re-evaluation of one of the greatest contemporary dance pioneers of the twentieth century. It employs an innovative feminist post-structural lens. 2013 is the 22nd anniversary of Graham's death. In her heyday, Martha Graham's name was internationally recognized within the modern dance world, and though trends in choreography continue to change, her status in dance still inspires regard. In this, the first extended critical look at this modern dance pioneer, Victoria Thoms explores the cult of Graham and her dancing through a critical lens that exposes the gendered meaning behind much of her work. Thoms synthesizes a diverse archive of material on Graham from films, photographs, memoir, and critique in order to uniquely highlight her contribution to the dance world and arts culture in general.

Abstract

"Proof of Guilt is a fascinating book that details the case of Barbara Graham and also explores the issue of the execution of women. Although the Graham case occurred decades ago, Cairns brings Barbara Graham back to life in this compelling narrative. The book sheds new light on the issue of the death penalty and dispels many myths and misconceptions surrounding it."-Gloria Killian, exonerée and coauthor of Full Circle: A True Story of Murder, Lies, and Vindication
