@newhavenclockfactorydoc Instagram post (carousel) The Papier Mache Video Institute's 1970s and 80s exhibitions sprawled as needed across large sections of the Clock Factory. The line for PMVI's legendary one-day-only 1984 exhibition grew so long that artists and performers took to the street and turned the line into an impromptu extension of the show. PMVI focused on Activist Art of a transient nature not typically found in museums and galleries, taking on issues of feminism, war, capitalism, elitism, Urban Renewal and 'TV mono-culture' with works of music, dance, poetry, visual art, performance, mixed media and of course Papier Mache and video. Founder Paul Rutkovsky, a fellow at Harvard's Institute for the Study of the Avant-Garde with works at cutting edge galleries such as NYC's Franklin Furnace, saw museums and galleries as exclusive "Cathedrals for A-R-T" entrenched in the capitalist-elitist art world. He sought to foster creativity in all people by engaging them in the creation of art. PMVI shows included opportunities to be videotaped smashing TVs, make Xerox art or for both men and women to compete in the annual Miss America Spectacle. When Rutkovsky became a professor at Florida State, colleague Beverly Richey took over and did groundbreaking work in feminist art, food as a political statement and was the driving force of the 1984 show. PMVI's poetic motto "Dedicated to the Promotion of Transient Culture" resonates with the Clock Factory's many ephemeral, intersecting lives. Kickstarter resonates with PMVI, too, as it enables us to remain 100% independent, bypass the traditional elitist-capitalist world and engage directly with the community. So, if you'd like to see this full-length documentary, please help us make it. REMEMBER, our campaign is All or Nothing and ENDS SOON (July 25th). Don't miss your opportunity to get involved.
