Spanning from 1981-2011, this screening brings together a selection of video artworks that explore Conrad’s ongoing interrogation of control and discipline through the affective qualities of humor, music, image and language. Surplus Affect will feature rarely screened works like In Santa Fe with Tony Conrad and Steina Vasulka, I’ve Never Been... and Lookers; and classics including In-Line, Redressing Down and Tony’s Oscular Pets.

Curated by Anna Scime and Laura McGough.

Presented in collaboration with Introducing Tony Conrad: A Retrospective at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
