Exit In 3
4/25/1986 - 5/18/1986
Curator(s): Papo Colo and Jeanette Ingberman
Video Program: The New York premiere of Exit in 3, a fiction documentary
based on the lives and works of three New York artists: Jerry Kearns,
Elaine Lustig Cohen and Hunt Slonem. Conceived of and directed
by Papo Colo, this short story saga follows two agents who metaphorically
investigate the art world. Exit in 3 was a new approach to documentary
that deals with the problems of translating the medium of painting
into the medium of TV. By using the vehicle of fiction to create
a structure, the tape progresses in a way where reality and imagination
combine to make a statement about art and its strategies. Using
interviews and video portraits interwoven with elements of fiction,
Exit In 3 focuses on three artists representing different tendencies
in contemporary art, an inventive use of video, to portray the
life of a visual artist in an story in which humor, politics and
aesthetics coexist in an intimate manner.

sculptors and photographers living and working both in Israel and

related in their approach to the notions of abstraction in contemporary
art.

in the exhibition, introduction by Jeanette Ingberman and essay
by curator Bertha Urdang.

Exhibition: A survey of work by artists of diverse cultural backgrounds
who had come to live and work in New York City. The transcultural

with the figurative.
