peter campus: there somewhere

peter campus (b. 1937, New York, New York) is a seminal figure in the history of new media art and a key creative force in elevating video to a contemporary art form. This exhibition highlights one of campus’s iconic early videos from the late 1970s, alongside the debut of four of his latest breakthrough landscape video works, which the artist calls the phillips quartets. These later pieces, inspired by the serene coastline near the artist’s home in Long Island, are marked by a sense of tranquility and introspection, evoking a feeling of being “there somewhere.”

This exhibition is organized by The Phillips Collection. 

Essential support is provided by the Carolyn Alper Fund for Contemporary Art. 

This exhibition is also made possible by Eric Richter and Charles Shoener.
