Unboxing Aspen (2017) [PART 1]

'Unboxing Aspen' appropriates and adapts the popular form of the unboxing video in order to offer a reading of 'Aspen 5+6' through the experience and knowledge of two friends, Julie Martin (Director of E.A.T.) and curator Melissa Rachleff Burtt, who have engaged directly and indirectly with the artists of the period and curator of 'Aspen 5 + 6', Brian O’Doherty.

'Unboxing Aspen' is a response to the publication 'Aspen 5+6' which was curated by Brian O'Doherty and published by Phyllis Johnson in 1967. The video was produced for the exhibition Coast-lines at the Irish Museum of Modern Art(Oct 2017–Sep 2018) as part of the project '1967-2017'.

This is the first part of the video.

'Unboxing Aspen' is a collaborative work made by The Orthogonal Methods Group (OMG).
