Action < > Reaction: Video Installations
Detroit
At the Detroit Institute of Art, with the advent of video as an art form, artists began to capture the fleeting interval between an action and its effect. Five videos examine this causal relationship and document the evolution of video over four decades. As time-based work evolved, art was no longer confined to the tradition of stop-action records used by painting and sculpture.

Charleston
At the Clay Center, this exhibition explores Motherwell’s working process with forty lithographs, screenprints and etchings; three monoprints; and seven drawings, collages and paintings dating from 1966 to 1990. As the youngest member of the heroic generation of post-war Abstract Expressionists who revolutionized painting and shifted the art world's attention from Paris to New York, h is also the only one of the group (which included Jackson Pollock, Hans Hoffman and Willem De Kooning) for whom printmaking became a major preoccupation.
