WCMA to Commemorate September 11 with
"A Moment of Silence, 9 11 2001" by Ornit Barkai
September 11, 2002, at the Williams College Museum of Art
In commemoration of September 11, 2001, the Williams College Museum of Art
(WCMA) will be showing the video A Moment of Silence, 9 11 2001 by Ornit
Barkai, and the museum will be highlighting the exhibition From the
Collection: New York, New York.
A Moment of Silence, 9 11 2001 was shot following a worldwide call to light
a candle in memory of the events of September 11, 2001. The video starts
with a sound of crashing airplanes, and then a poignant minute of silence,
showing only a flickering candle on a dark background, is observed. The
moment of silence is captured through the camera's viewfinder as the
³record² light blinks continuously. The crosshairs at the center of the
viewfinder mark the flame, and the date 9-11-2001 is slowly typed in at the
bottom of the frame. This video will be running continually on September 11
in Media Field, the museum¹s gallery devoted to new media work. The gallery
will provide a place for reflection and solace.
Ornit Barkai is a video producer and artist whose other work includes the
documentaries An After Thought: Manhattan After Sept. 11, and A New York
State of Mind: Manhattan, 6 Months Later.
WCMA is participating in "Museums Celebrate America's Freedoms," an effort
by more than 120 American museums to join communities in a day of
remembrance. This project is organized by the Institute of Museum and
Library Services, a federal agency, and the American Association of Museums.
>From the Collection: New York, New York is includes more than 50
photographs, drawings, and prints, all images of New York City, from WCMA's
permanent collection. This collection of diverse works, united by their
setting, features photographs by Louis Faurer, Alfred Stieglitz, Aaron
Siskind, and Garry Winogrand. Prints include works by John Sloan, Everett
Shinn, Isabel Bishop, and Reginald Marsh. These artists all worked in New
York between the late nineteenth century and the last decades of the
twentieth, and they all attempted to capture the unique character of the
city.
The Williams College Museum of Art is a participating member in The Vienna
Project, a collaboration among eleven arts and cultural institutions in the
Berkshires. WCMA's contribution to the project, Prelude to a Nightmare: Art,
Politics, and Hitler's Early Years in Vienna 1906-1913, continues through
October 27. Programming for Prelude to a Nightmare includes the symposium
³Staging the Third Reich: "A Symposium on Art as Politics" on October 3-5.
The Williams College Museum of Art is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is free and the
museum is wheelchair accessible.
