Description
Content description from The Arts on Television, 1976-1990: Fifteen Years of Cultural Programming:
Dancing Man by Mitchell Kriegman features Bill Irwin and the disco song Shake your Groove Thing. The Women's Group, by David Cunningham of the Flying Lizards, is an ironic interpretation of the song And Then He Kissed Me. Lake Placid 80, by Nam June Paik, is a look at the 1980 Winter Olympics set to Mitch Ryder's Devil With a Blue Dress-Good Golly Miss Molly. In Record Players by Christian Marclay, 20 “human record players” scratch, hit, shake, slap, wobble, rattle and break phonograph records. Act III, by John Sanborn, is an abstract tale told through computer graphics and video imagery, with music by Philip Glass. The program concludes with an early version of Once in a Lifetime by David Byrne and the Talking Heads.
