Line Describing a Cone (1973), the first of Anthony McCall’s geometric films, has recently reawakened keen interest. In 2001, it appeared in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s exhibition Into the Light: The Projected Image in American Art, 1964–1977, curated by Chrissie Iles. In 2003, October published a group of texts on “The Projected Image in American Art of the 1960s and 1970s,” including the lecture delivered by McCall during the Whitney’s exhibition. Since then, discussion of this artist/filmmaker’s work has steadily increased.1 The revival of interest can be seen as the effect of filmmaking’s migration toward the art world, a movement for which McCall’s film stands as an emblematic prefiguration, indeed as a totemic one. Over the last three decades, Line Describing a Cone has, in fact, been presented in contexts of both the art scene and the filmic avant-garde, demonstrating that it has provided a bridge between two worlds until then quite severed from each other. |
