Who's Who 1980

100 Pinhole Photographs of Artists, Writers, Musicians, Filmmakers, Actors, and Supporters Thereof

Artist Julie Schachter has created 100 pinhole photographic portraits of artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, actors and supporters thereof, who sat before a hollowed-out 1980 Who's Who book, which she refashioned into a camera. Among those celebrated in these pages are Ant Farm founder Chip Lord; T.R. Uthco artists Doug Hall and Diane Andrews Hall; painters/sculptors M. Louise Stanley, Katherine Sherwood, C. G. Simonds, Clayton Bailey; performance/video/installation artists George Coates, Paul Cotton, Lowell Darling, Spalding Gray, Doug Hollis, Joe Rees, Willie Boy Walker; filmmakers Juliet Bashore, William Farley, Jon Jost, Bill Kimberlin, George Manupelli, Rick Schmidt, Wayne Wang; writers Tamim Ansary, Ruth Reichl; musicians David Behrman, Molly Holm, David Rosenboom, and members of the bands Flipper and The Mutants. Schachter's book represents the history of creative people, who interacted and formed a kind of West Coast art movement in Northern California in the late 1900s.
