Structural Legacies: Lessons in How to Assimilate the 'Seminal'
Switch, Spring 2010, no. 3, pp. 16-19
The article discusses the reputation of artists Michael Snow and Peter Campus as creators of canonical, seminal, and pioneering video and film art. The cultural and art historical significance of Snow's and Campus' earlier works are revisited through recent re-readings of the works by authors such as Elizabeth Legge and Maeve Connolly. Recent artworks by Emily Wadill and Sophie Belair Clement (with David Jacques) reinterpret such "canonical" works as Snow's See You Later/Au Revoir within a modified restaging of the original film.
