Beryl Korot

Hear from multimedia artist Beryl Korot, whose pioneering Text and Commentary (1976–77) is featured in Fiber: Sculpture 1960–present. In this early multichannel work—one of the first to integrate video art into an installation setting—she presents weaving, writing, and video-making as parallel activities. An internationally exhibited artist, Korot is a Guggenheim Fellow (1994) and has collaborated with her husband, composer Steve Reich, on two multimedia theater works.

Fiber: Sculpture 1960–present is organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston and curated by Jenelle Porter, Mannion Family Senior Curator.

Major support for the exhibition is provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
