Tony Oursler And The Occult
Francine Prose writes about two exhibitions: “The shows—”Imponderable†at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and “Tony Oursler: The Imponderable Archive†at the Hessel Museum at Bard College’s Center for Curatorial Studies—reveal the intriguing connections between the work of video artist Tony Oursler and his encyclopedic and obsessive collection of over 2,500 images and objects. Nearly all of these objects touch on some aspect of the occult or, perhaps more accurately, on beliefs and belief systems that cannot be supported by (or that run counter to) science.’
