Exhibitions: Michelangelo Pistoletto: A Reflected World Michelangelo Pistoletto: A Reflected World: Members’ Preview with art critic Annette Michelson, 04/04/66 1966
	Track 1  mov Introduction of the work of Pistoletto, introduction of the critic Annette Michelson by Martin Friedman. Is Pistoletto's work more than merely a technical device? Use of photographic imagery in painting: the sabotage of modernism. Use of a reflective surface rather than a canvas.   Track 2  mov Pistoletto's sense of form and structure -- inclusion of the observer through use of reflective material -- relation to formalist painting. Relationship to Pop art, George Segal, John Cage and modern film. Relationship to surrealism and collage. What is real and what is reflected in Pistoletto?   Track 3  mov More on the role of the reflective stainless steel surface of Pistoletto's work. More on Surrealism. Discussion of types of reality: Pop art reality, reflected reality.   Track 4  mov The isolation and alienation of modern man in Pistoletto's work -- detachment and anonymity. "Object-minded" approach to art. Making objects as opposed to making paintings or sculpture. Does Pistoletto's work constitute a revolutionary breakthrough?   Track 5  mov The difference between a glass mirror and a stainless steel surface. Is Pistoletto connected to Romanticism? Responsibility in art -- should art elevate and edify man? Is nostalgia a 20th century concept?
