Planes of Memory is an exhibition that anyone with a serious interest in the art of the past two decades should see. It's not a large show, in terms of the number of works included, but it's certainly big on rewards for time invested.
Long Beach Museum of Art curator Jacqueline Kain has brought together three video installations that would easily do justice to the claim of being classics: Bruce Nauman's Live Taped Video Corridor (1969); Beryl Korot's Dachau 1974 (1975); and peter campus' mem (1975). The selection is not random, though. As the title of the show provocatively suggests, memory has a lot to do with this work and with our experience of it.
