MindFrames: “Sensorially stimulating, conceptually provocative … a paradigm to be adapted elsewhere”

“Clearly, with this show, we have moved into an entirely new domain, MindFrames [curated by Woody Vašulka & Peter Weibel] was founded on a much broader and more encompassing notion of a way in which to organize and define the constellation of roles that museums might play in the presentation of the arts of the moving image, individually or in collaborative concurrent interaction. The degree of its success was a curatorial coup. Sensorially stimulating, conceptually provocative, and committed to not only excellent exhibition but deeper understanding, the show welcomed all who came to explore – to whatever degree they wished – the MindFrames of eight seminal artists/thinkers in a variety of mediated forms. I would expect that not only the show but also the paradigm it represented will be adopted and adapted elsewhere.”
