Walker Art Center newsletter - magazine, 1999-2000

Minneapolis: Walker Art Center, 1999-2000, 43x28 cm. English. 12-18 pp. A nearly consecutive run of 10 issues of the newsletter / magazine / newspaper published by the Walker Art Center. Each issue covers current exhibitions, event programming and other activities. A lot of ground is covered during this period featuring works, films and performances by Matthew Barney, Cinema Novo (Brazil), Bruce Conner, Hou Hsiao-Hsien, William Klein, Kurt Kren, Man Ray, Cildo Meireles, Joan Mitchell, Cecil Taylor, Andy Warhol, John Waters, Gillian Wearing and many more. Most interesting though is the 'New Media Initiative' column - appearing inconsistently - covering the fleeting ephemeral world of new media and internet art of the late 1990s. Projects and initiatives long forgotten on obsolete websites using out of date parameters and protocols. This is the true archaelogy of the fastly evaporating second wave of internet and web art. Projects and works covered by number of artists including Claude Closky - with his prophetic meme-art "calendar 2000", Margaret Crane & Jon Winet, Aurie Harvey, Vivian Selbo et al. These artistic endeavours are complimented by panel discussions and web classes like Cyberchicas Teen Web Class. A trove of information buried among practical details and event programming. Lot comes comlete with inlaid special illustrated envelope [Claes Oldenburg & Coosje Van Bruggen] 'Year-End Appeal' for public donations. Issues folded once as distributed. Near Fine.
