On the 40th anniversary of EAI’s incorporation on August 17, 1971, EAI pays tribute to founder Howard Wise and the Howard Wise Gallery with a special screening of rare and never-before-screened archival materials, including films of kinetic art works, interviews, and documentation of the landmark 1969 exhibition TV as a Creative Medium.

Howard Wise was an innovative art dealer and a visionary supporter of video art. From 1960 to 1970, the Howard Wise Gallery on 57th Street in New York was a locus for kinetic art and multimedia works that explored the nexus of art and technology, presenting artists such as Len Lye, Takis, Jean Tinguely, and Group Zero. The gallery featured several groundbreaking exhibitions, including On the Move (1964) and Lights in Orbit (1967).

Wise’s most influential exhibition was TV as a Creative Medium, the first in the U.S. dedicated to video as an art form. Featuring performances, single-channel tapes, video sculpture and multimedia installations by twelve artists—including the premiere of Nam June Paik and Charlotte Moorman’s TV Bra for Living Sculpture—the exhibition served to link the kinetic and art and technology movements of the 1960s with the emergent medium of video art.
