Today, the moving image is ubiquitous in global contemporary art. The first book to tell the story of the postwar expanded cinema that inspired this omnipresence, Between the Black Box and the White Cube travels back to the 1950s and 1960s, when the rise of television caused movie theaters to lose their monopoly over the moving image, leading cinema to be installed directly alongside other forms of modern art. Explaining that the postwar expanded cinema was a response to both developments, Andrew V. Uroskie argues that, rather than a formal or technological innovation, the key change for artists involved a displacement of the moving image from the familiarity of the cinematic theater to original spaces and contexts. He shows how newly available, inexpensive film and video technology enabled artists such as Nam June Paik, Robert Whitman, Stan VanDerBeek, Robert Breer, and especially Andy Warhol to become filmmakers. Through their efforts to explore a fresh way of experiencing the moving image, these artists sought to reimagine the nature and possibilities of art in a post-cinematic age and helped to develop a novel space between the \"black box\" of the movie theater and the \"white cube\" of the art gallery. Packed with over one hundred illustrations, Between the Black Box and the White Cube is a compelling look at a seminal moment in the cultural life of the moving image and its emergence in contemporary art.

\"In the same way that science is a research-based endeavor, so are the arts,\" says Jedediah Wheeler, Montclair State's director of arts and cultural programming. \"And the only place you can have in-depth research is in a university, where ideas are paramount.\" \"[Robert Whitman] has a spirit of creativity that is really unmatched,\" Wheeler says. \"It's a truly intuitive way of making art.\" \"The way I do it is talk to people who are a lot smarter about this stuff than I am,\" he says. \"I say, 'Can you figure out how to do this?' My guess [with \"Passport\"] is they're doing something via the Internet, and I'm not quite sure beyond that what it is. Once somebody starts talking technical, I'm listening to the beautiful music of another foreign language.\"

Or he might grant you complete control of his finances in case he falls ill (when triggered by illness, this is called a \"springing\" power of attorney). Such control might include the power to file his federal and state income tax returns (file IRS Form 2848, available to download at www.irs.gov). You could also have the legal permission to sell your father's house or car. By extending powers so vast, power of attorney agreements present ample opportunity for abuse. Many people refuse to grant anyone such power; they don't trust anyone to honestly carry out their wishes, said Robert Whitman, a professor of estate planning law at the University of Connecticut Law School.
