UbuWeb Film & Video: GUTAI - Japanese Performance Art, 1956-1970

Duration: 1 hour ""Gutai art does not alter matter; it gives matter life... In Gutai art, the human spirit and matter, opposed as they are, shake hands... My respect goes out to the works of Pollock and Mathieu. Their works are the cries uttered by matter: by oil paint and enamel themselves." (Yoshihara, Gutai manifesto, 1956) Very rare documentation of Japanese Performance Art. Horrible quality,

具体美術の記録映像。18分あたり、クローネンバーグ「クラッシュ」冒頭部の元ネタなんじゃないかと思った。
