December 1: Early music videos by David Bowie, introduced by Thurston Moore
A screening of music videos of the innovative musician, actor, producer, arranger, and audio engineer David Bowie is held on the occasion of the artist’s recent gift of music videos to the museum. For many of his videos, Bowie collaborated with the photographer and filmmaker Mick Rock, best known for his images of 1970s glam-rock icons such as Iggy Pop, Queen, the Ramones, Lou Reed, and the Sex Pistols. Thurston Moore, of the “no wave” band Sonic Youth introduces and emcees the program, which takes place in conjunction with Looking at Music, an exhibition by curator Barbara London that explores music’s role in the interdisciplinary experimentation of the 1960s, when a dynamic cross-fertilization was taking place among music, video, installation, and what was known as “mixed media” art. Looking at Music is on view in the Museum’s Yoshiko and Akio Morita Gallery through January 5, 2009. Organized by Barbara London.
