Fields: Peter Campus
Arts Magazine, May 1973, v. 47, no. 7, pp. 25-29
Bruce Kurtz's discusses the work of video and installation artist Peter Campus in this in-depth article, which includes several large images and excerpts from an interview between Kurtz and Campus. Kurtz discusses Campus' work as an investigation of space, aligning it to Duchampian methodologies of linguistic inquiry. Kurtz goes on to develop Campus' video practice, writing "Campus uses video as the means of bringing into being experiences which reveal relationships between how we percieve and what we think, between sense perception and intiution" (p.28). In summary, the primary experience and goal of Campus' work is sensory yet ephemeral, suggestive and profound.
