Mythic Space: The Video Installations of Rita Meyers

by Shelley Rice

Afterimage, Jan. 1982, v. 9, no. 6, pp. 8-11

Shelley Rice discusses the video installation works of Rita Meyers, who explores the "intangible aspects of tangible reality". Her works incorporate sculptural forms, videotapes, and audio-taped narrative texts, in order to explore the "duality of mind and matter, the phsyical and the spiritual." The article also discusses Meyers' changes in approach and subject matter over the course of her career, while looking at specifically at the pieces Once Before You and Barricade to Blue.
