When I Was A Worker Like LaVerne
29 minutes
A straightforward account of both management and labor at a
Sears and Roebuck Company mail order house in Chicago . The
plant foreman explains some of the operations of the business
with a tour through the nine floor structure, spotted along
with interviews with workers at a variety of duties, who
appear to genuinely enjoy their labors .

(Documentary #2)
TIME
30 minutes
If one uses a,language, any discipline, to arrive
quickly at a work of art one finds oneself forced to
polarize, that is, forced to go back to the starting
point, to the discipline itself . This is the moment to
instrumentalize the discipline to cancel the structure ;
the concepts are thus reduced to pure and simple signals
which together form a composition that is, in a certain
sense, the equivalent of the signs and colors i n an oil
painting . For example in this documentary the polarization
occurs by isolating images described from the filmed
ambient .
In its turn the documentary will develop with a description
which is purely phonological . The words deprived of their
meaning, are substituted by some numbers .
In so far as
the word disappears the number which substitutes for it
becomes a simple tone-supporter . The visual part recovers
spectator-- impact but at the same time declasses the
illusion . The word is no longer objective as happens in
certain processes which refer the word as a medium back to
itself ; instead there is also less of the didacticism of
academic inspiration .
So it is that the ambient description stripped of ambiguity
of language offers a work translated into every language .

A tape about conspicuous consumption . Four men stand
around a television studio and discuss their involvement with
the Cadillac Ranch project . More conspicuous than the
auto as symbol are the men themselves and the vulgarity
of indulgence as visualized by the installation of several
Cadillacs, half-buried in the Texas desert . The tape has
little to do with art, but makes a brazen statement about

Doubt is a subtly scripted tape that uses the on-camera
statements of several people to create a vague, allusive
account of what in the beginning seems to be the memories
of an underground organization . Clark deliberately leaves
the relationship of the participants in his tape, and the
ostensible subject of their concerns, in doubt . What the
viewer is left with is the certain notion that the
continuity he has constructed is substantially his own .

B .Baseboard
30 minutes
15 minutes
In Baseboard the character and dimensions of an
unknown space are slowly revealed as the camera
steadily and silently scans the space . The view
seen is a close-up of a wall meeting the floor .
The camera passes different objects exposing them only
in part . The result is a linear collage of color
and texture . A tension develops as the camera
relentlessly carries the viewer around the room never
showing enough of the space and never slowing or
stopping to allow an investigation of a particular
element . When the piece concludes the tension is
released as the scale and character of the space
becomes apparent .

BIRTH'S CHILD objectively captures a mother's response
to her baby's crying .
Both mother and son sit naked nearly on top of the camera .
The woman's face moves
through a pattern of subtle changes as we listen to the
child's wailing .The piece closes with a succession of rapid
cuts which create a pulsating sound/visual rhythm as the
crying stops . TABLE & CHAIRS opens with a slow pan from
one chair to another placed at (diagonally) opposite ends
of the table . A man appears on the screen who at certain
times establishes a corresponding counter-rhythm to the
pan .

"The Masque of Clouds" grew out of a shorter work created by
Kushner in 1973, which was roughly based on Elizabethan
masque traditions but involved no music . Johnson became
interested in the idea as a potential opera, and active
collaboration on the expanded work began in the summer of
1974 .
One hundred and thirty-two variations make up the
music of the work . The theme is never quite stated in its
pure form, though it is heard in ten different modes and
quite a variety of tempos and moods,

An account of a demolition derby is presented as a form of
methodical violence .
Fans come to the track and local drivers
heroes who are mechanics, who work on their own cars aside
from their regular jobs . On Saturdays they drive for simple
glory & little money as fans watch with satisfaction . As one
demolition driver put it, " . . . a lot of them are out here to
watch what they are dying to do ."

Exchange in Three Parts - by Sanborn/
Fitzgerald
1977
Green as Well as Blue as Well as Red
Commentary: Kathryn Bigelow,
Performers : Suzanne Harris,
Tina Girouard, Camera : Carlotta Schoolman,
Tape uses
format, visually and structurally .
It begins with a
statement spoken by Weiner and repeated throughout : "And they
often say, it's not who wins the game but how its played" . The
visual game is played by Suzanne Harris and Tina Girouard,
Weiner invited Kathryn Bigelow to collarorate with him : The
working premise of the tape was that she should make a
commentary, while Weiner mixed the soundtrack and answered
Bieglow's questions, The final question of the tape,is
whether the questions Bigelow raises can operate dislectically
or whether they are appropriated and subverted by the structure,
