Now for a change of pace: “Notre Dame de Video,” a leetle sumzeeng I made for the arts fest TROIS SOIRS PARMI long ago in tr\u00e8s gai Paris. Thought you might get a tsk-tsk out of a few video stills.<\/p>\n

\"TROISNDdV ran on a bill with Jochen Gerz’s very sober conceptual piece, “La Salle et sa repr\u00e9sentation,” on March 16, 1972. Location: 19 Quai Bourbon on Ile Saint-Louis<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, a stone’s throw from the cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris<\/span><\/strong><\/a> on Ile de la Cit\u00e9<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. Thus the title of the video.<\/p>\n

Other artists in the festival, besides Jochen Gerz<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and me, were Bernard Heidsieck<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and Fran\u00e7oise Janicot<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (the organizers); Paul-Armand Gette<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, Lourdes Castro<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, Ren\u00e9 Bertholo<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, Jan Nordahl and Pedro Morais.<\/p>\n

I played the video on a 2-inch monitor. It sat shoulder high on a pedestal in the middle of a room as vast as a Louvre gallery. Word buzzed through the crowd. (“Yum, that’s quoit noice!”) In fact, the best thing about NDdV was the Peeping Tom effect.<\/p>\n


\nAs people gathered to lay eyes on Our Lady, some jockeyed for position. Rowdies cut in line to grab a peek. Fist fights broke out. What a spectacle that<\/i> was.

\nJust kidding about the fist fights. The jockeying was very polite, and there were no rowdies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
