The Performance Videos of Ursual Hodel

Performance Tapes is back! In this third iteration, Pastelegram and Free Beer have partnered to present a special screening of Ursula Hodel’s works from the nineties paired with YouTube videos that use a similar visual language. Rarely screened, Hodel’s performances engage issues of desire, consumerism and self-absorption by using the video camera as a mirror. Discussion after the screening will focus on how the lens of the Internet has changed the way historical performances like Hodel’s are seen and interpreted today.

Free Beer – a contemporary art podcast by Landon O’Brien, David Culpepper, Nathan Ellefson, and TJ Lemanski – will introduce the screening and moderate discussion.

PERFORMANCE TAPES is a new series of screenings dedicated to recordings of performances and other live art events from the 1960s to today.
