Dan Graham: Rock My Religion

Angebote / Angebote:

Dan Graham¿s Rock My Religion (1982¿1984) is a video essay populated by punk and rock performers (Patti Smith, Jim Morrison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Eddie Cochran) and historical figures (including Ann Lee, founder of the Shakers). It represented a coming together of narrative voice-overs, singing and shouting voices, and jarring sounds and overlaid texts that proposed a historical genealogy of rock music and an ambitious thesis about the origins of North America¿s popular culture. Because of its passionate embrace of underground music, its low-fi aesthetics, interest in politics, and liberal approach to historiography, the video has become a landmark work in the history of contemporary moving image and art, but it has remained, possibly for the same reasons, one of Graham¿s least written about works--underappreciated and possibly misunderstood by the critics who otherwise celebrate him. This illustrated study of Graham¿s groundbreaking work fills that critical gap.
