The inaugural issue of Log Illustrated sinks its teeth into
the oft overlooked artform of video, with reviews of some of NZ's most
interesting recent works, such as Lisa Reihana's A Maori Dragon Story by
Tessa Laird, Sean Kerr's Jaunt by Alice Hutchison, and a poetic
meditation on Veronica Vaevae's videos by John Pule. Meanwhile, Gwyn
Porter gets to the heart of Hollywood, Daniel Malone interviews notorious
New York cable art stars Alex Bag and Patterson Beckwith, and our man
in New York, David Watson, interviews the editor of Bummer Patrol,
another copiously anarchic Manhattan Cable show. For art history buffs,
NZ Video buff Lawrence McDonald is interviewed, and he also pays homage
to Philip Dadson's seminal work Earth / Breath.
