October 1 Videos by Ann Steuernagle
"I work almost exclusively with found footage of every kind (educational and industrial films, feature film and home movies). Once I have appropriated the footage I practice the art of montage with great pleasure reconfiguring the explicit message of the films. The resulting work offers a critique of gender roles, systems of communication and dubious technological advancements. " -Ann Steuernagel

Ericka Beckman 135 Grand Street 1979
In August 1979 I shot a evening of downtown NYC art scene bands in my friend's loft for VPRO television from Rotterdam. VPRO wanted to do a story on these bands for their current culture magazine program. After the magazine was aired in Fall 1979 in HOLLAND, I received the materials and the rights to use them. They stayed in a box until this Spring, when I was contacted by the MET Museum to cut it for their upcoming April 2009 show 'The Picture Generation'. Sonic Youth heard about this film as well, and asked to use it in their traveling show 'Sensational Fix', which is touring Europe starting July 2008 through 2009.
Some of the bands are: Static, Theoretical Girls, John Lurie and Rhys Chatham-Ericka Beckman
