Why Is Ilene Segalove Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Ilene Segalove is an American conceptual artist working with appropriated images, photography and video. Her work can be understood as a precursor to The Pictures Generation. Career Early life and education Segalove was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, United States. She studied Fine Arts at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1968. While studying there she met Billy Adler and John Margolies, who became her collaborators and professors and introduced her to the concept that one's personal narrative could be strong material for art. She collaborated with them on Telethon, consisting of interviews about subjects' personal experiences in relation to anthropological models presented in the University gallery as an installation made up of a living room with sofas, TV dinners and a television. But Segalove's first introduction to video was through her sculpture professor, Roland Brenner. Other early influences in using the medium of video included Wolfgang Stoerchle, a graduate student at UCSB who later taught at Cal Arts, and the curator David Ross who had come from New York and was to launch the most comprehensive video exhibition in the coming years.
