DESCRIPTION:God Only Knows Who the Audience Is: Performance, Video, and Television 
 Through the Lens of La Mamelle / ART COM is an exhibition produced by the 
 graduating class of the Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice at 
 California College of the Arts with the support of the Wattis Institute for 
 Contemporary Arts. \n\nThe exhibition will run April 21 through July 2, 
 2011, in the Wattis Institute galleries on the San Francisco campus of 
 California College of the Arts. The exhibition is free and open to the 
 public. There will be a reception event on Thursday, April 21, 2011, from 
 6-8 p.m.\n\nThe artists include: Eleanor Antin, Rea Baldridge, Olaf 
 Breuning, Chris Burden, CAC TV, Peter d’Agostino, Jaime Davidovich, 
 Douglas Davis, Paul Forte, Terry Fox, Mario Garcia Torres, Lynn Hershman, 
 Christian Jankowski, Martin Kersels, Paul & Marlene Kos, Noah Krell, Joel 
 Kyack, La Mamelle / ART COM, Stephen Laub, Chip Lord & Phil Garner, Whitney 
 Lynn, Tom Marioni, Raul Marroquin, Luis Felipe Ortega & Daniel Guzman, 
 Ricardo Rivera, Bonnie Sherk, Barbara Smith, SOON 3, Pierrick Sorin, T. R. 
 Uthco & Ant Farm, and Bill Viola.\n\nThe exhibition investigates the notion 
 of “performing” as a medium and a site of mediation. Using the 
 publications and archives of the now-defunct gallery La Mamelle / ART COM 
 as a frame of reference, the exhibition interrogates the range of different 
 relationships between audience and artist through the presentation of a 
 variety of traces—including photographic and filmic documentation, 
 remakes, performances, ephemera, and broadcast-based works. Though the 
 basis of the show is “historical,” referring back to artistic 
 developments of the 1970s and 1980s, the exhibition traces and extends the 
 conversations within these questions of media, representation, and audience 
 up to the present day through the inclusion of works by contemporary 
 artists.\n\nGive Them the Picture is a literary extension of the 
 exhibition. This accompanying publication is not an exhibition catalog but 
 rather a selected anthology of essays taken from La Mamelle and ART COM 
 magazines. It places in dialogue 24 articles, penned by critics and 
 artists. This collection represents the complexity of the above ideas as 
 they were grappled with at the time of their original publication and 
 positions them as contemporary questions. It also features conversations 
 between the curators and two of La Mamelle / ART COM’s key figures, Nancy 
 Frank and Darlene Tong. The publication will be available at the opening 
 reception.\n\nwww.wattis.org\n\n
