Since the 1990s, a "cinematographic turn" has taken place in contemporary art, paralleled by the emergence of a "cinema of exhibition." This collection of new essays investigates the relationships between the "white cube" and the "black box," focusing mainly on the 1970s, a decade in which film practices and moving images were integrated into museums and art spaces.The authors analyze multiple modalities of presenting the moving image through historical case studies: the anatomy of video art, expanded cinema, artists' films and installations, and the moving image in the public sphere. Exploring examples from the 1930s to the present, these contributions address commercial, spectacular or advertising forms of moving images, artists' performative practices, installations in large museums, exhibitions devoted to projections and festivals of experimental films.

L' objectif de ce recueil d'essais inédits est de mettre en relation les constructions complexes du montage audio-visuel dans la série Is This What You Were Born for? avec la poésie expérimentale, la scène de la musique improvisée et les arts plastiques dans les années 1970-1980, aux Etats-Unis. Nous confrontons ainsi les points de vue d'un historien du cinéma (Tom Gunning), d'une spécialiste du son (Melissa Ragona), d'une poétesse et historienne de la littérature (Redell Olsen), et d'un artiste et théoricien de l'art (Tom Zummer). Abigail Child, à travers un long entretien, revient sur l'ensemble de son parcours. Ce livre apparaît ainsi comme l'indispensable pendant de This Is Called Moving (University of Alabama Press, 2005), une anthologie d'essais d'Abigail Child sur la poétique du cinéma.

"Early Video Art and Experimental Films Networks traces the diffuse international networks through which video art and experimental films circulated during the late sixties and early seventies. It explores forgotten exhibitions both in Switzerland and France, the activities of public television channels and alternative art spaces in the US, a production art center dedicated to video in Italy and an Argentinian collective of conceptual artists, aiming to shed new light on the production and diffusion of moving images."--
