\"short_bio\": \"Willoughby Sharp, a founder and publisher of the seminal art magazine <i>Avalanche<\/i> (1970-76), is an artist, author, curator and teacher. Over the past four decades he has produced films, video sculptures, installations, broadcast works, transmission art, video performances and \\"Videoviews\\" (dialogues with contemporary artists), and was a pioneer of pre-Internet satellite art projects.\",
\"long_bio\": \"Willoughby Sharp, a founder and publisher of the seminal art magazine Avalanche (1970-76), has over the past four decades gained international recognition as an artist, author, curator and teacher.\r\n\r\nSharp began his media work in 1967 with 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm films, including <I>Earth<\/I> (1968) and <I>Place & Process<\/i> (1969), which was included in the landmark 1971 exhibition <i>Information<\/i> at The Museum of Modern Art. He then began producing video sculpture, video installations, \\"Videoviews\\" (1970-74), \\"Videoperformances\\" (1973-77), Transmission Art works (1977-present), cable television programs (1985-86), and broadcast TV programs (2001 -present). \r\n\r\nIn 1970, he began the \\"Videoviews\\" series of videotaped dialogues with Bruce Nauman (1970), Joseph Beuys (1972), Vito Acconci (1973), Chris Burden (1973), Lowell Darling (1974), and Dennis Oppenheim (1974). In 1976, he produced <i>Five Video Pioneers: Acconci, Serra, Sharp, Sonnier, Wegman<\/i>. The following year he represented the United States in the 37th Venice Biennale. More recently Sharp has produced a series of documentary programs on Dennis Oppenheim, Keith Sonnier, Earle Brown, and Morton Subotnick.\r\n\r\nIn the late 1970s, Sharp began a series of multi-casting, pre-Internet projects that interlaced information from computers, telefax, and Slow-Scan TV. In 1977, he instigated the first artists' trans-continental satellite work, <i>Send\/Receive's Two Way Demo<\/i>. In 1979, he implemented MASERS (Mobile Artists Satellite Earth Receiving Stations), which allowed him to scan global satellite television programming and show it on a monitor. \r\n\r\nSharp has been a contributing editor of Impulse, Toronto, (1979-81); Video, San Francisco (1980-82); Art Com, San Francisco (1984-85), and The East Village Eye, New York (1984-86). He has contributed to Artforum, Art In America, Arts, Avalanche, and Flash Art, among others. He curated <i>POP ART<\/i> at Columbia University, New York, 1964; <i>Robert Rauschenberg Retrospective<\/i>, Krefeld Museum, Germany, 1964; <i>Air Art<\/i>, University Art Museum, Berkeley, CA.; <i>Earth Art<\/i>, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY; 1969; <i>BodyWorks<\/i>, Museum of Conceptual Art, San Francisco, CA., 1970; <i>VIDEOPERFORMANCE<\/i>, 112 Greene Street Gallery, New York, 1974; and the Film\/Video section, <i>Joseph Beuys Retrospective<\/i>, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, 1979-80, among others. \r\n\r\nHis works are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, N.Y.; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, N.Y.; ZKM (Zentrum fur Kunst und Medientechnologie), Karlsruhe, Germany; The Collection of the Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy; The National Art Gallery, Ottawa, Canada, among others. He has taught at School of Visual Arts, New York (1984-88); University of Rhode Island, Kingston, where he was also the director of the Fine Arts Center (1988-90); and New School University, Parson's School of Design, Graduate Faculty, Digital Design Department, New York (2000-2003). \r\n\r\nIn 2006, with Pamela Seymour Smith, Sharp began work on <i>The Videobook: Willoughby Sharp's Oral Art History<\/i>, a comprehensive video oral history of his activities in the art world from the late 1950s to the present. Sharp's forthcoming solo shows include <i>Einstein's Eye<\/i> at the Sculpture Center, NY in 2007 and a career retrospective, <I>Retrospection<\/i>, at Clifford Gallery, Colgate University, Hamilton, NY in 2007.\r\n \r\nSharp was born in 1936 in New York City and lives in Brooklyn, New York.\",

Investigating the sociological dynamic of risk and physical vulnerability, he initially used his own body as material in provocative, sometimes shocking acts, aggressively confronting the artist\/audience relationship and the art-making process.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBurden?s performance works were one part of a boundless career that also spanned sculpture, installation, public art and engineering feats—eluding classification and resisting institutional conventions. Though often imposing in its scale or proximity to danger, his art was elegant in its execution. Whatever form he worked in, and wherever Burden's work was experienced, his careful attention to material and context produced a striking effect.<br \/> \r\n<br \/>\r\nDirect public engagement was central to Burden's interests. Like many artists in the 1970s, Burden seized on video as a tool to explore alternative means of distribution and exhibition. Notable examples are his short interventionist pieces for broadcast television, ten- or thirty-second network spots that he purchased to air his own \\"anti-commercials,\\" one of which featured only his name, the cursive-lettered title \\"Through the Night Softly,\\" and a glimpse of Burden, nearly nude, hands bound, rolling through a field of shattered glass.<br \/> \r\n<br \/>\r\nThese brilliant conceptual ads bluntly dropped Burden's expressions of human susceptibility, societal taboos, and American aggression into a decidedly non-art arena, where they were shorn of any didactic interpretations that might mute their unexpected poetic resonance.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEAI will honor Burden with a rotating program of video works, which will screen four times during the course of the day.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPlease <strong><a href=\\"http:\/\/www.eai.org\/user_files\/supporting_documents\/burden_pn_3.pdf\\" target=\\"_blank\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">click here<\/font><\/a><\/strong> for the full title and screening schedule.\r\n\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n \r\n <p class=\\"onefive\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">\r\n__________________________________<\/font><\/font><\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\r\n<p class=\\"twelvebold\\">\r\n\r\n \r\n<p class=\\"onefive\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">\r\n\r\n \r\n<strong>Chris Burden<\/strong> was born in 1946. He received a B.A. from Pomona College, Claremont, California, and an M.F.A. from the University of California, Irvine. The first New York survey of his work, \\"Chris Burden: Extreme Measures,\\" opened in the autumn of 2013 at the New Museum for Contemporary Art, New York. A major retrospective of his work, \\"Chris Burden: A Twenty Year Survey,\\" was organized in 1988 by the Newport Harbor Art Museum, California. He performed and exhibited his work internationally, at institutions including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA); MAK-Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; de Appel, Amsterdam; Tate, London; The 48th Venice Biennale, Venice; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Conceptual Art, San Francisco; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the 1992 Biennial Exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Gagosian Gallery, and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and taught for many years at the University of California, Los Angeles. Burden lived in Topanga, California, until his death in 2015. <\/font><\/font><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\r\n \r\n <p class=\\"onefive\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">\r\n___________________________________<\/font><\/font><\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n \r\n <p class=\\"twelvebold\\">\r\n\r\n <p class=\\"onefive\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">\r\n \r\n <strong>About EAI<\/strong><br \/>\r\n <br \/> \r\n \r\nFounded in 1971, Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is a nonprofit arts organization that fosters the creation, exhibition, distribution, and preservation of moving image art.

\"short_bio\": \"Willoughby Sharp, a founder and publisher of the seminal art magazine <i>Avalanche<\/i> (1970-76), is an artist, author, curator and teacher. Over the past four decades he has produced films, video sculptures, installations, broadcast works, transmission art, video performances and \\"Videoviews\\" (dialogues with contemporary artists), and was a pioneer of pre-Internet satellite art projects.\",
\"long_bio\": \"Willoughby Sharp, a founder and publisher of the seminal art magazine Avalanche (1970-76), has over the past four decades gained international recognition as an artist, author, curator and teacher.\r\n\r\nSharp began his media work in 1967 with 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm films, including <I>Earth<\/I> (1968) and <I>Place & Process<\/i> (1969), which was included in the landmark 1971 exhibition <i>Information<\/i> at The Museum of Modern Art. He then began producing video sculpture, video installations, \\"Videoviews\\" (1970-74), \\"Videoperformances\\" (1973-77), Transmission Art works (1977-present), cable television programs (1985-86), and broadcast TV programs (2001 -present). \r\n\r\nIn 1970, he began the \\"Videoviews\\" series of videotaped dialogues with Bruce Nauman (1970), Joseph Beuys (1972), Vito Acconci (1973), Chris Burden (1973), Lowell Darling (1974), and Dennis Oppenheim (1974). In 1976, he produced <i>Five Video Pioneers: Acconci, Serra, Sharp, Sonnier, Wegman<\/i>. The following year he represented the United States in the 37th Venice Biennale. More recently Sharp has produced a series of documentary programs on Dennis Oppenheim, Keith Sonnier, Earle Brown, and Morton Subotnick.\r\n\r\nIn the late 1970s, Sharp began a series of multi-casting, pre-Internet projects that interlaced information from computers, telefax, and Slow-Scan TV. In 1977, he instigated the first artists' trans-continental satellite work, <i>Send\/Receive's Two Way Demo<\/i>. In 1979, he implemented MASERS (Mobile Artists Satellite Earth Receiving Stations), which allowed him to scan global satellite television programming and show it on a monitor. \r\n\r\nSharp has been a contributing editor of Impulse, Toronto, (1979-81); Video, San Francisco (1980-82); Art Com, San Francisco (1984-85), and The East Village Eye, New York (1984-86). He has contributed to Artforum, Art In America, Arts, Avalanche, and Flash Art, among others. He curated <i>POP ART<\/i> at Columbia University, New York, 1964; <i>Robert Rauschenberg Retrospective<\/i>, Krefeld Museum, Germany, 1964; <i>Air Art<\/i>, University Art Museum, Berkeley, CA.; <i>Earth Art<\/i>, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY; 1969; <i>BodyWorks<\/i>, Museum of Conceptual Art, San Francisco, CA., 1970; <i>VIDEOPERFORMANCE<\/i>, 112 Greene Street Gallery, New York, 1974; and the Film\/Video section, <i>Joseph Beuys Retrospective<\/i>, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, 1979-80, among others. \r\n\r\nHis works are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, N.Y.; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, N.Y.; ZKM (Zentrum fur Kunst und Medientechnologie), Karlsruhe, Germany; The Collection of the Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy; The National Art Gallery, Ottawa, Canada, among others. He has taught at School of Visual Arts, New York (1984-88); University of Rhode Island, Kingston, where he was also the director of the Fine Arts Center (1988-90); and New School University, Parson's School of Design, Graduate Faculty, Digital Design Department, New York (2000-2003). \r\n\r\nIn 2006, with Pamela Seymour Smith, Sharp began work on <i>The Videobook: Willoughby Sharp's Oral Art History<\/i>, a comprehensive video oral history of his activities in the art world from the late 1950s to the present. Sharp's forthcoming solo shows include <i>Einstein's Eye<\/i> at the Sculpture Center, NY in 2007 and a career retrospective, <I>Retrospection<\/i>, at Clifford Gallery, Colgate University, Hamilton, NY in 2007.\r\n \r\nSharp was born in 1936 in New York City and lives in Brooklyn, New York.\",

Investigating the sociological dynamic of risk and physical vulnerability, he initially used his own body as material in provocative, sometimes shocking acts, aggressively confronting the artist\/audience relationship and the art-making process.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBurden?s performance works were one part of a boundless career that also spanned sculpture, installation, public art and engineering feats—eluding classification and resisting institutional conventions. Though often imposing in its scale or proximity to danger, his art was elegant in its execution. Whatever form he worked in, and wherever Burden's work was experienced, his careful attention to material and context produced a striking effect.<br \/> \r\n<br \/>\r\nDirect public engagement was central to Burden's interests. Like many artists in the 1970s, Burden seized on video as a tool to explore alternative means of distribution and exhibition. Notable examples are his short interventionist pieces for broadcast television, ten- or thirty-second network spots that he purchased to air his own \\"anti-commercials,\\" one of which featured only his name, the cursive-lettered title \\"Through the Night Softly,\\" and a glimpse of Burden, nearly nude, hands bound, rolling through a field of shattered glass.<br \/> \r\n<br \/>\r\nThese brilliant conceptual ads bluntly dropped Burden's expressions of human susceptibility, societal taboos, and American aggression into a decidedly non-art arena, where they were shorn of any didactic interpretations that might mute their unexpected poetic resonance.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEAI will honor Burden with a rotating program of video works, which will screen four times during the course of the day.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPlease <strong><a href=\\"http:\/\/www.eai.org\/user_files\/supporting_documents\/burden_pn_3.pdf\\" target=\\"_blank\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">click here<\/font><\/a><\/strong> for the full title and screening schedule.\r\n\r\n<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n \r\n <p class=\\"onefive\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">\r\n__________________________________<\/font><\/font><\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\r\n<p class=\\"twelvebold\\">\r\n\r\n \r\n<p class=\\"onefive\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">\r\n\r\n \r\n<strong>Chris Burden<\/strong> was born in 1946. He received a B.A. from Pomona College, Claremont, California, and an M.F.A. from the University of California, Irvine. The first New York survey of his work, \\"Chris Burden: Extreme Measures,\\" opened in the autumn of 2013 at the New Museum for Contemporary Art, New York. A major retrospective of his work, \\"Chris Burden: A Twenty Year Survey,\\" was organized in 1988 by the Newport Harbor Art Museum, California. He performed and exhibited his work internationally, at institutions including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA); MAK-Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; de Appel, Amsterdam; Tate, London; The 48th Venice Biennale, Venice; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Conceptual Art, San Francisco; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the 1992 Biennial Exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Gagosian Gallery, and Ronald Feldman Fine Arts. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and taught for many years at the University of California, Los Angeles. Burden lived in Topanga, California, until his death in 2015. <\/font><\/font><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n\r\n \r\n <p class=\\"onefive\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">\r\n___________________________________<\/font><\/font><\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n \r\n <p class=\\"twelvebold\\">\r\n\r\n <p class=\\"onefive\\"><font style=\\"text-decoration:none\\" color=\\"#000000\\">\r\n \r\n <strong>About EAI<\/strong><br \/>\r\n <br \/> \r\n \r\nFounded in 1971, Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is a nonprofit arts organization that fosters the creation, exhibition, distribution, and preservation of moving image art.
