Konzeptkunst – Aus dem Nachlass des Künstlers. - Vgl. zu den Filmstills: Lomholt Mail Art Archive, Agora Studios, Maastricht 1979, Gallery Programme 1979-10-09. - Die beiden vorliegenden Blätter gehören zu Dieter Froeses Werkgruppe der konzeptuellen Aufzeichnungen und Videoperformances, die er ab 1971 in New York und Hartford realisierte. The Airing of the Pyramid I (Circle) hält eine im April 1972 in New York durchgeführte Performance mit zwei Performern und zwei Sony-Videokameras fest. Ein Kreisdiagramm verzeichnet die räumliche Anordnung der Kamerapositionen in Relation zur Himmelsrichtung. Stone Foot Race dokumentiert eine auf Zufall und physikalische Gesetzmäßigkeit angelegte kinetische Performance mit einem gleitenden Stein, der vom Künstler in präzisen Bleitstiftzeichnungen und Notizen festgehalten wird. Beide Blätter entstanden in Froeses produktivster Frühphase und sind eng mit dem New Yorker Alternativkunst-Netzwerk der frühen 1970er Jahre verbunden, aus dem später Institutionen wie das P.S.1 hervorgingen.

Conceptual Art – 2 documentary drawings of video performances. Pencil and pencil and collaged silkscreen print on plotted tracing paper and screened vellum respectively. Each signed, dated, titled and labelled. - Somewhat stained in places, one sheet slightly browned due to age, especially at the edges. Edges slightly bumped in places. Overall in good condition. - From the artist's estate. - For the film stills see Lomholt Mail Art Archive, Agora Studios, Maastricht 1979, Gallery Programme 9 October 1979. - The two sheets presented here form part of Dieter Froese's body of work comprising conceptual drawings and video performances, which he produced from 1971 onwards in New York and Hartford. "The Airing of the Pyramid I (Circle)" documents a performance held in New York in April 1972, featuring two performers and two Sony video cameras. A circular diagram shows the spatial arrangement of the camera positions in relation to the cardinal directions. "Stone Foot Race" documents a kinetic performance based on chance and the laws of physics, featuring a sliding stone, which the artist has recorded in precise pencil drawings and notes. Both works were created during Froese's most productive early period and are closely linked to the New York alternative art network of the early 1970s, from which institutions such as P.S.1 later emerged.
