Published on the occasion of the first museum survey of artist and filmmaker Stan VanDerBeek (1927-1984) at the MIT List Visual Arts Center and the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Stan VanDerBeek: The Culture Intercom is the first monograph to consider his pivotal contribution to postwar media art. Exploring his investigation into the links between art, technology, and communication, the publication brings together scholarship on VanDerBeek’s pioneering films and immersive projection environments, as well as documentation of site-specific and telecommunications projects, and a critical assessment of his writing on technology and media. Essays by the exhibition’s co-curators João Ribas and Bill Arning, and VanDerBeek scholars Mark Bartlett, Jacob Proctor, Gloria Sutton, and Michael Zryd provide an overview of the artist’s influence on contemporary media practices.
