Celebrating Burden.


"...my prediction from the sixties finally came true: In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes."
ANDY WARHOL (1979)




Chris Burden

THROUGH THE NIGHT SOFTLY (1973)
" In 1973 Chris Burden conceives the work Through the Night Softly, to be inserted during 10 seconds amongst the regular Tv advertisements, "4 times a week for 4 weeks". In the original video, longer than the tv ad, he held his hands behind his back and crawled through about 50 feet of glass in Los Angeles pavement at nigh time."



SHOOT(1970)
"Chris Burden's conceptual performance from the early 1970s. Shot on Super-8, 16mm film, and half-inch video. Guided by the artist's comments on both the works and the documentative process."
