"American Landscape Video: The Electronic Grove" Exhibition-Curated by William D. Judson




Excerpt from the Exhibition Foreword by Phillip M. Johnson, Carnegie Museum of Art:

This exhibition "marks a milestone both for The Carnegie Museum of Art and for the field of contemporary art as a whole. It constitutes the first large-scale exhibition of video works which this museum has organized. More importantly, however, it is the first museum-organized exhibition of several video installations to be explicity directed toward a thematic consideration. Full credit for the concept of this exhibition goes to Bill Judson. From the beginning his idea has had an unmistakable "ring of truth"/Phillip M. Johnson
