Screening

The Vera List Center presents the “New School Art-Tour ’97: INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS ONLINE,” an online tour of the Venice Biennale, Documenta X, and Sculpture: Projects in Munster 1997. Taking advantage of the rare concurrence of these three exhibitions, this tour will offer viewers throughout the world a unique opportunity to see art history in the making and to view some of the most compelling and provocative art created in the past two years. In addition to digital still images, the tour will provide an enlightened narrative explanation of represented artists’ lives and work, previously available only to the limited audiences who are able to attend these exhibitions and through exhibition catalogues.

NEW SCHOOL ART-TOUR ’97 site will include interviews with artists, collectors, curators, critics and dealers, as well as reports and coverage of exhibition installation and events virtually as they happen. Additionally, the Vera List Center’s tour will provide access to most shows and events organized as alternatives to the three official exhibitions, most which are not included in catalogues or covered by the media. As with the 19th Century Salon des Refuses, these concurring shows are very important and vital to a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary international art world.

Conducted by Kathleen Goncharov, Robert Ransick, and Mary Dinaburg.
