Video Dialogue

Description

"In this work Heske presents two television monitors and two videotapes of several people conversing and arguing about the nature of art. Is it a measuring tape or a rubber band? The idea for this piece, Like "Project Gjerdel,'' was basically conceptual. There was no object, so to speak, other than the video equipment and two notebooks in which audience members were allowed to add their responses to the taped conversation. The piece was dialectical. There was a play between concept and material. It may have been an absurd argument - perhaps, even an absurd question; but nonetheless, it was a profound investigation into the subject.” (Robert C. Morgan, 1989)
