• Cornerstones — Part 1 — Vanessa Joan Müller talks about the ongoing problem of labeling the work of John Baldessari
  Why is it that his work is still regarded as undoubtedly ‘conceptual’ although he has his roots in Pop Art? Baldessari still has a major impact on a younger generation of artists and photographers, partially due to his inspirational lectures at institutes such as the University of California.

• Cornerstones — Lecture — John C. Welchman talks in detail about the epic work Day is Done (2005) by Mike Kelley
  This work adopts the form of a rambunctious musical-cum-vaudeville video, chopped into over thirty choreographed numbers. It is distributed across a series of twenty-five sculptural viewing stations that are also locations and para-architectures composed of props from each film shoot. The work is based on American, everyday ‘performances’ like those of school theater, children’s plays or Halloween.

• Cornerstones — Part 1 — Peter Osborne talks about the work of Robert Smithson
  Smithson became widely known with his ‘earthwork’ Spiral Jetty (1970), but his oeuvre is characterized by an almost bewildering proliferation of innovative practices and forms that repeatedly defied prevailing conceptions of the bounds of art, from the simple displacement of materials at his ‘sites’ and ‘non-sites’, to magazine works, slide-lectures and extended architectural projects.
• Cornerstones — Donald Kuspit on Louise Bourgeois
  In Donald Kuspit’s lecture The Phallic Woman: Conflict and Fragmentation in Bourgeois’ Conception of the Female Body he argues that virtually all Bourgeois’ representations of the female body are symbolic depictions of the phallic woman.
• Cornerstones — Helmut Friedl on Gerhard Richter
  In his lecture on Gerhard Richter, Between Realism and Abstraction, Helmut Friedel focuses on the ambiguity between realism and abstraction in Richter’s paintings.
• Cornerstones — Ina Blom on Lynda Benglis
  In her lecture An Instance of Videosociality, Ina Blom considers Lynda Benglis’ 1972 video Mumble. The work originates from an artistic dialogue between Benglis and Robert Morris, where the video tapes would pass between the two artists as in an exchange of postcards, each artist modifying, adding to, or in other ways transforming the received material.
