Television made me what I am


When the world crashes in to my living room
Television made me what I am
People like to put the television down
But we are just good friends, I'm a television man

-Talking Heads


Vicki Hartman's new work ...


"Well, for the pure joy of it, it (TV) is back in my life. And somehow even in my studio. I think I want these televisions to be subversive, handmade playing on commercialism and mass production. And then I think I want them to be simply playful objects with a tinge of irony.

Whose voice and ideas get listened to in our society?
How passive or active do I want to be in my community?
What would you say if you could televise something? "
