His works in a range of media—film, installation, video, painting, sculpture, sound, photography, drawing, writing, and music—address the fundamental properties of his materials, the conditions of perception and experience, questions of authorship in technologically reproducible media, and techniques of translation through written and pictorial representation. His film \u003ci\u003eWavelength\u003c\/i\u003e (1967) is a milestone of avant-garde cinema and possibly the most frequently discussed “structural” film ever made. This volume collects essential texts on Snow's work, with essays and interviews spanning more than four decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom its earliest issues, October has been a primary interlocutor of Snow's work, and many of these texts first appeared in its pages. Written by such distinguished critics and scholars as Annette Michelson, Hubert Damisch, and Malcolm Turvey, they document Snow's participation in postwar discourses of minimalism, postminimalism, photo-conceptualism, and avant-garde cinema, and examine particular works. Thierry de Duve's essay on linguistics in Snow's work appears alongside Snow's response. The volume also includes other writings by Snow, images from his 1975 work \u003ci\u003eMusics for Piano, Whistling, Microphone, and Tape Recorder\u003c\/i\u003e, and an interview with the artist conducted by Annette Michelson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEssays and interviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eJean Arnaud, Érik Bullot, Hubert Damisch, Thierry de Duve, Andrée Hayum, Annette Michelson, Michael Snow, Amy Taubin, Malcolm Turvey, Kenneth White\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnnette Michelson (1922–2018) was widely considered one of the twentieth century's most influential writers on film.
