Letter From Mark Rendleman
Lynn Magruder
Grants Coordinator
New Mexico Arts Division
Santa Fe, N.M. 87501
Dear Lynn,
After speaking to you about developing a more
current resume of my non-painting activities I began looking back through
my notebooks and collected memorabilia to remember what I have been doing.
I quickly became overwhelmed. I have put so much energy into keeping up
with my creative desires that keeping track of them was the last thing on
my mind. (My last painting resume, the one I sent to you, only exists
because I was pursuing my teaching career and I had a friend who was good
enough to keep track of such things.) I have worked hard at not holding on
to non- productive memories. Dates, places, and even names have become
obscured. Even more frustrating for assembling such a resume is assigning a
relative value to the various activities. What I remember as significant
may seem insignificant to others. I can drop names and relate various
associations that might impress someone knowledgeable in the performance,
video, film, or music world, since most of the work is cooperative and
associations are inherent. But what I would define as significant is most
probably obscure except to those who have shared the experiences, as
audience or participants. And most of what I have been doing I have stopped
calling Art, partly because the contexts in which my work gets presented ie. nightclubs, theatres, a
church, a convention center, and TV. It also seems unfair to claim as my
art that in which so many have participated. I have been most fulfilled as
a facilitator, a coordinator, and hopefully a teacher. I have always been
uncomfortable with general or public recognition regarding my personal
work. What remains most important to me is my education, the general
expansion of knowledge and human experience, and what I can give to others,
not the recognition my products or even a particular audience at this
point.
Excuse me for becoming so personal, but my
consideration of doing a resume has been an involving experience that has
led me back through my past, a place I have left behind. One of my
realizations has been that perhaps I may not be a suitable nominee at this
point (particularly if a formal current resume is essential). I had hoped
to be of some service, but there are other times and opportunities. In the
mean time, I have become intrigued with the idea of doing a current resume,
to put my life in perspective, so when I have the time I will indulge in having
the information tracked down. However it will take at least a few weeks,
especially to get dates, so for now I will make an attempt to give you a
general brief of my non-painting, or non-art/academic experiences :
- Early 1970's - Work
published on visual perception. Bausch-Lomb Award. Prize for paper on
visual illusions.
- Mid 1970's- Formed
MER Arts Corporation for the creative development of others. Later
this branched into MER Art Services for creative and professional
media development, primarily in film and then video. Finished first
films including "Home", "To and From",
and "Evolution of the Image"(a teaching film).
- 1975-77 - Various
performance art pieces and multi-media events, primarily in San Diego,
California.
- 1977-1982 - Various
performance art pieces on East coast (primarily Vermont and New York)
including "The Image", "The Maul Dancer",
"Who Stole Art?" and "Why Now?".
Edited and published book "Continuous Nonsense and Other Fantasy
Sources". Completed several films and videos including "Coast
to Coast", "The Rafts of Gods", a couple documentaries
on art process, several commissioned dance performance videos and rock
music videos (pre-MTV). Also commercial art consultant work for
channel 3 TV, Vermont.
- 1978- Made my first
million dollars (primarily through investing). I mention this because
it may be the most important application of my art and perceptions,
and certainly suggests why I have been able to be so generous and do
what I have done with Art.
- 1979-80's - Formed The Alibi, Inc. for the development of performance
arts as entertainment (making art accessible). Developed real estate,
Starr Mill, (purchased, designed, and renovated an old mill into a
performing art center, night club, theatre, gallery/restaurant and
sales). Began art networking group for promotion of new art, primarily
new music.
- Early 80's - Began
working with sound/experimental music, initially for film tracks then
for commissioned dance and theatre pieces. Member of
"R.E.D." (Radical Entertainment Development) a new music and
video performance group (including Ottmar
& Stefan Liebert) based in Boston that
produced 3 records and several videos. Also performed with
"Working Unit" initially from France, then Los Angeles, and
now New York known as "Soma Holiday", combining new music,
dance, art performance and video. Most presentations made in clubs
such as: the Pyramid, 8BC, and the Ritz in New York; the Channel and
S.P.I.T. in Boston; and L.H.A.S.A and Club Lingerie in Los Angeles, working
with various artists and groups. Worked as art consultant or
videographer on several music videos and experimental films.
Most of what I have done over the past few
years has been for the fulfillment of other people's desires. The products
usually have not met my personal standards for which I would want to accept
credit. The above outline is intended only as a reference for the kind of
experiences in which I have been involved. These experiences have been
valuable with regard to committee work since they have generally involved a
high degree of cooperative effort.
Thank you for your interest and considerations.
Sincerely,
Mark Rendleman
