In this lively conversation with scholar Daniel R. Quiles—the tenth installment of the Conversaciones series—Davidovich recounts his early years in postwar Argentina, the coup d’état in 1963 that led to his relocation to New York City, and his long, fascinating, and highly influential career as a visual artist.
Davidovich (1936–2016) was an Argentine-American video/television-art pioneer and conceptual artist who was at the very forefront of many innovations that we now, through the lens of history, recognize as well-established forms in art and mass media. As a fixture of the SoHo-based experimental art scene of the 1970s and 1980s, Davidovich worked in a broad variety of media throughout his long career, including video, painting, and installation, while also establishing himself as an activist and public-access television producer.
