Participation represents the Vasulka’s experience of the New York downtown art scene in the late ’60s and early ’70s. A fascinating portrait of wildly creative people, places and times, it uses the recently introduced Portapak video system to document, among other gems, Don Cherry trumpeting in Washington Square, Warhol Superstars on stage, and Jimi Hendrix in concert. Participation is a pioneering video documentary, and a free-form time capsule of an era.
