Media Cultures: Funding, Research, and Exhibition
The Goldsen Archive is the repository of three important collections that have stimulated the growth of racial and sexual artistic expression celebrated in this case.
- The Electronic Media and Film (EMF) program of the New York State Council of the Arts (NYSCA), has been dedicated since 1969to advancing experimental and creative expression in all genres of time-based and moving image media, while nurturing the growth of America’s leading artists from New York and championing artistic expression of cultural diversity.
- The Elayne Zalis Video Studies Archive is an extensive collection of study tapes, rare catalogs, and correspondences that document developments in independent American video throughout the 25-years of its most significant production, from 1977-1992.
- The Ithaca Video Festival, 1975-1983, was the country’s first competitive video festival, founded and curated by Cornell graduate and artist Philip Mallory Jones, MFA ‘72. The Goldsen Archive honors Jones’ contributions to Ithaca and Cornell video culture and to African-American expressions in video and new media art.
