Films by Sculptors

762 Valencia Street San Francisco, CA, 94110

Spiral Jetty, 1970, by Robert Smithson, 35 min., color/sound. Pine Barrens, 1975, by Nancy Holt, 32 min., color/sound. Pursuit, 1975, by Bruce Nauman and Frank Owen, 28 min., color/sound.

This is the first in a series of programs by artists who are known for their work in other visual arts media. Although Spiral Jetty revolves around the making of Smithson’s famed earth sculpture at the Great Salt Lake, it also interweaves associations about geological time and missing fragments from history. Pine Barrens is about an odd wilderness in southern New Jersey where the local people, “Pineys,” have lived isolated for generations. Pursuit is an examination of fifteen people running one at a time. Programmed by J.C. Lipzin and S. Anker.
