Elaine Summers was the first artist to incorporate media in performance calling her work “Intermedia.” This panel discussion with Merián Soto, Wendy Perron, and Amy Guggenheim moderated by Yuna Masson-Cariou will explore the exact meaning of the term intermedia, and how Summers used film in her performances and pioneered unusual venues, stretching the boundaries of her art in many ways.
