Audiovisual Materials, Series IV. 1970-2006, undated

Physical Description: 2.02 Linear Feet (4 boxes)

Arrangement

Arranged according to medium.

Scope and Contents note

The bulk of this series contains audio and video materials relating to Stoerchle's works, including the video artworks themselves, recordings of performances, and video from a retrospective exhibition organized after his death. Also included are audio recordings of Daniel Lentz's "Requiem of Wolfgang Stoerchle."
Titles of video works are inconsistent in Stoerchle's use. Many tapes are compilations of works arranged by Stoerchle as publicity samples, resulting in the renaming and duplication of some works. V11, V14, V16, V18, V19, and V22 are duplicates of other digitized tapes and are therefore unavailable for reformatting. V8 is duplicative of a digitized video from Kaprow (980063) and therefore was not digitized. V13 is damaged and unavailable for reformatting. V15 is blank.
