Everything Matters: Paul Kos, A Retrospective

by: Constance Lewallen, Berkeley Art Museum, Pacific Film Archive
Born in 1942, Paul Kos has been a highly influential artist in the Bay Area for well over three decades. In the late 60s and early 70s he was one of the major figures on the early conceptual art scene, notable especially for his early experimental video works and seemingly simple but technically innovative sculptural installations, which generally featured evocative audio or video components. He was one of the first to incorporate video into interactive installations. The artist's best-known work is arguably the sublime Chartres Bleu, a 1986 video installation that re-creates in full scale a stained-glass window from the Chartres cathedral in France.

Byron Kim: Threshold 1990-2004

by: Anoka Faruqee, Eugenie Tsai, Kevin Consey, Janine Antoni, Byron Kim, Glenn Ligon
For the past decade, Byron Kim has maintained a steadfast commitment to exploring the potential for content in abstract painting. Kim's work reflects his attraction to the postwar tradition of monochromatic painting, exemplified by Ad Reinhardt's Black Paintings and Brice Marden's fields of color. While Kim incorporates the visual language of color and abstraction, he also addresses cultural and personal issues, positioning himself closely with many of his contemporaries, including Glenn Ligon and Felix Gonzalez-Torres.

Lucinda Barnes, Chief Curator and Director of Programs and Collections at the Berkeley Art Museum, Pacific Film Archive, speaks about the future of museum collections. How will museums manage collections, and buildings, that growth past their capacity to support them? Barnes addresses the need to redistribute some collections to museums that can better use them, and to create governance structures that support such decisions.
