Renowned for her bold and tactile sculptures, Lynda Benglis produced a body of groundbreaking videos in the mid-1970s. Immediate and visceral, these works gave new form to Benglis\u2019s ongoing exploration of gender, self-presentation, and the media. She also used them to translate many of her radical experiments with physical materials\u2014dayglo latex poured directly on the floor and large-scale polyurethane foam structures cantilevered off of walls\u2014into the electronic pulse of video, layering sound and image into provocative collages of the body and time. This program brings together her earliest experiments, including\u00a0Document\u00a0<\/em>(1972) and\u00a0Mumble<\/em>\u00a0(1972), produced as part of an ongoing exchange with the artist Robert Morris; such seminal tapes as\u00a0Now<\/em>\u00a0(1973) and\u00a0Female Sensibility<\/em>\u00a0(1973); and her only narrative work,\u00a0The\u00a0<\/em>Amazing Bow<\/em>\u00a0Wow<\/em>\u00a0(1976), a tale of gender, family, and difference, produced with the director Stanton Kaye.<\/p>\n
