Essential texts on the work of the influential artist Michael Snow: essays and interviews spanning more than four decades.Few filmmakers have had as large an impact on the recent avantgarde film scene as Canadian Michael Snow (b. 1928). His works in a range of mediafilm, installation, video, painting, sculpture, sound, photography, drawing, writing, and musicaddress the fundamental properties of his materials, the conditions of perception and experience, questions of authorship in technologically reproducible media, and techniques of translation through written and pictorial representation. His film Wavelength (1967) is a milestone of avantgarde cinema and possibly the most frequently discussed structural film ever made. This volume collects essential texts on Snow's work, with essays and interviews spanning more than four decades.From its earliest issues, October has been a primary interlocutor of Snow's work, and many of these texts first appeared in its pages. Written by such distinguished critics and scholars as Annette Michelson, Hubert Damisch, and Malcolm Turvey, they document Snow's participation in postwar discourses of minimalism, postminimalism, photoconceptualism, and avantgarde cinema, and examine particular works. Thierry de Duve's essay on linguistics in Snow's work appears alongside Snow's response. The volume also includes other writings by Snow, images from his 1975 work Musics for Piano, Whistling, Microphone, and Tape Recorder, and an interview with the artist conducted by Annette Michelson.Essays and interviewsJean Arnaud, rik Bullot, Hubert Damisch, Thierry de Duve, Andre Hayum, Annette Michelson, Michael Snow, Amy Taubin, Malcolm Turvey, Kenneth White
