From 'Object Lessons: Case Studies in Minimal ArtâThe @guggenheim @panzacollection Initiative:' Video Stills from Lawrence Weinerâs 1970 âTO THE SEA / ON THE SEA / FROM THE SEA / AT THE SEA / BORDERING THE SEA,â made with Gerry Schum, founder and director of the Fernsehgalerie (Television Gallery) in Berlin and Hanover.â â â â âWeiner produced a video presentation of as his contribution to Schumâs second television exhibition, âIdentifications,â which was broadcast on West German television on November 30, 1970. The 36-minute program featured short films and videos by 20 American and European artists, including Joseph Beuys, Daniel Buren, Gilbert & George, Mario Merz and Richard Serra. In Weinerâs 50-second black-and-white video, which was shot by Schum on the Dutch coast, each phrase appears in white letters on a black background and is followed by footage of the artist executing a corresponding action: he walks toward the sea (TO THE SEA); he places a log on the sea (ON THE SEA); he picks up the floating log and brings it back to the beach (FROM THE SEA); he stands on the beach with the log (AT THE SEA); finally, he walks away from the camera along the sea (BORDERING THE SEA). The soundtrack consists of only the sound of breaking waves.ââ â â â Read more via linkinbio.â â â â Edited with text by Francesca Esmay, Ted Mann, Jeffrey Weiss.
