Lecture by Marc Siegel (Film scientist)<\/p>\n
Pioneering American underground artist George Kuchar, who died in 2011, amassed a body of work including almost forty 8mm and 16mm films and hundreds of works on video. Kuchar’s work on film is long considered an essential contribution to the history of innovation in the international post-war avant-garde. His personal, often confessional work on video, however \u2013 including his extraordinary video series of twenty-six Weather Diaries (1985-2011) \u2013 has only recently begun to receive the scholarly and art-world attention it deserves. This presentation has provided an analysis of the artist’s idiosyncratic visual work and has argued that Kuchar’s first-person narration functions as a form of fabulation that effects a transformational relationship between artist and character, between videomaker and documentary subject, and between \u201cI\u201d and actress. <\/p>\n
