Video for Power, Taboo, and the Artist
http://visitsteve.com/work/video-for-power-taboo-and-the-artist/
In the summer of 2010, we asked artists and curators worldwide to record themselves responding and commenting on the following questions: What are or should be the taboos honored by cultural institutions? Why should public funds be spent to support artwork that might offend some segment of the general public? Does “concern for the community” justify (self)censorship? What alternative institutional models are emerging in the face of restrictive conditions attached to public funding? The responses and creative comments of artists and curators worldwide are collected in Power, Taboo and the Artist, an ongoing video project produced by the National Coalition Against Censorship and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School. The project is part is part of a series of events How Obscene is This organized on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the NEA Decency Clause and addressing diminished public funding for the arts and the culture of self-censorship or outright censorship that has taken hold in arts institutions. Besides the video, the series includes panel discussions and a censored film series. See all the videos. Below is my contribution:

Out of Ideas
http://visitsteve.com/work/out-of-ideas/
As part of my Lower East Side Printshop Special Editions Residency, I created this series of silkscreen (and hand altered) prints called, Out of Ideas. This video shows some of the process of how each were made. If you’re unfamiliar with the world of fine art prints, it’s not a good idea to touch them with your bare hands, wrinkle or kink them in anyway… you get the idea. Video shot at the Lower East Side Printshop. Doug Bennett was the Master Printer, James Miller did the silkscreening. Video edited while on a residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts. Music except is “Can’t Get Satisfied” by Jack McDuff. OUT OF IDEAS, 2010 Screenprint and collage with coffee, whiskey, and beer hand additions on torn, crumpled, and burnt Coventry Rag Vellum 320 gsm and Seikosen Mitsumata 32 gsm papers Dimensions variable; 23″ x 30″ original image and sheet Edition of 12, with 4 Artist’s Proofs, 2 Printer’s Proofs, 1 Archive Proof, and 1 Display Proof Master Printer: Doug Bennett and James Miller printshop.org – Lower East Side Printshop headlands.org

Top Secret Greenpeace Project
http://visitsteve.com/work/video/top-secret-greenpeace-project/
In March of 2010 I caught wind of a project at Greenpeace that sounded incredible. Victoria Estok and I headed down a couple weeks later with a camera and a mic to talk to people about it. The Greenpeace project will go public on the 17th, but in the meantime I’ll be posting the piece I put together. This is Part 1. Part 2 I am currently editing and will have up asap. Side note: Seeing what Greenpeace does from the inside… they are amazing. When you see canvassers on the street, really consider becoming a member. Thanks to greenpeace.org/usa/ for sharing everything. Eyebeam.org for general support. huffingtonpost.com/kert-davies – more from Kert Davies

The Making of 98.5%
http://visitsteve.com/work/the-making-of-98-5/
While this video only takes three and a half minutes, the actual sign took several days to make. Victoria Estok and Kyle Hittmeier helped along the way – Kyle can be seen painting, Victoria is more elusive. The soundtrack is from some old friends; The Steady Ups and Doctor Echo’s Dub Disaster album, which is one of my favorites. Worth every penny. How To: Get a vector file from your computer onto an 8×4 foot sheet of plywood All of this is basically in the video, but here it is again. The design was originally a vector file. I made the printout on a large-format copier at the local chain store copy shop for about 8 dollars. Then used a light coat of spray mount to attach it temporarily to the wood. Then I followed the cuts with a good blade in the jig saw, and drilled where the circles were. Before removing the paper I drew a line over the printed line with a pen to leave an indentation on the wood. Lighting this from the side with a small flashlight, I could then trace over the indentations directly onto the wood with pencil. As I did this I removed the paper. Using the re-positionable spray mount means there is no residue of paper or adhesive. If you have any specific questions, let me know.

“Where Lives Come to Die” with Scott V. from Oakland
http://visitsteve.com/work/where-lives-come-to-die-with-scott-v-from-oakland/
Where Lives Come to Die Video, 3′31 San Francisco, 2009
This piece is based on a poem by Scott V. from Oakland. Scott and I have been friends and collaborators for a long time. I saw him perform this piece live and people were laughing, confused, and depressed all at once. It was amazing. After collaborating on a long-form experimental video, we decided why not keep the momentum going and turn the poem into a video?
All the video was shot in 2005 over 2 nights at the actual coffee shop near Scott’s old work (the story is based on fact). I tried to edit it in the coming days. Days turned into years as I would step away from the edit to gain perspective, but whenever I would return to it, I couldn’t come up with a good edit or sound. Luckily John Davis gave me hours worth of his audio experiments to use in a radio program I made, and I found audio from him that worked perfectly. Later after I moved to New York, Nadia Awad came to Eyebeam as an intern and pulled a rabbit out of her hat on the edit. She’s got the magic touch! More time went by and Liz Filardi added her amazing titles.
The people who worked on this are all very talented and I hope you find our little 3 minute story at least half as sad, funny, and human as I did when I first heard it.
