Starting tomorrow, the Amon Carter Museum will present the first video installation in the institution’s history, Mary Lucier: The Plains of Sweet Regret. This one-work exhibition, an 18-minute, five-channel video work, will occupy an entire gallery, filling the space with beautiful yet haunting images of the Great Plains in North Dakota. The images are accompanied by an evocative score by composer Earl Howard that captures the character of the land.
Mary Lucier is a pioneering figure in the history of video art, and her works were among the first to be acquired by institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Lucier was born in Bucyrus, Ohio, and has lived and worked in New York City since 1974.
At 11 a.m., the artist will be at the museum to discuss her work. Reservations are required; seating is limited. Please call 817.989.5057 to register; confirmation will be sent.
The exhibit will be on view through February 15, 2009. Admission is free.
