Finley Artist in person Thursday, November 21,1991 At the Museum: A Pilgrimage of Vanquished Objects (1989); 3/4" videotape, 23 minutes. Assistant Director: John Muse; Director of Photography: Jim Meek; Production Assistant: Laura James; Original Music Score: Kevin Deal. This videotape was produced during an Artist-in-Residence stint at the Oakland Museum. The museum requested an artist's interpretation of the Museum's displays and collections, including the History, Natural Science and Art Departments. This tape is about archiving and documenting culture in the 20th century. It explores how all types of archiving, including documentary filmmaking, inevitably creates its own history from the artifacts it collects. Using the Oakland Museum's displays and collections as an environment, the narrator of At the Museum: A Pilgrimage of Vanquished Objects leads the viewer on a tour of a mythical museum. Although at first the viewer might think the tape is a traditional documentary, its experimental nature is revealed as the displays and the individuals represented within them come alive and discuss their role as artifact and image contrasts with their actual lives. The tour guide suggests a variety of interpretations of each display which challenges the authority of the educational museum, documentary filmmaking and the voice of the narrator itself. 83
