Summary:: Originally created in 1977 as a single handmade copy, Dara Birnbaum's Note(s): Work(ing) Process(es) Re: Concerns (That Take On/Deal With) gathers writings, working drawings, photographic documentation, and ephemera from the artist's earliest video and installation works. The publication was originally produced by Birnbaum and exhibited in 'Notebooks, Workbooks, Scripts, and Scores' at Franklin Furnace in 1977. The book's vinyl cover and section dividers, hand-folded pages, and color images have all been reproduced, and Alex Kitnick provides a new introduction. 'Note(s)' provides a rare look into Birnbaum's early investigations of video art and its relationship to television. Her work of this period orchestrates a complex circuit of viewership and representation, in which her interest in psychoanalytic concepts, projective identification, regression, resistance, and intersubjectivity are analyzed in tandem with the formal and interpersonal politics of image making. These investigations lay the groundwork for the artist's breakthrough works, such as Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman and Kiss the Girls: Make Them Cry, in which she appropriates popular television programs to critique the language and images of networked television.
