Quote:
"The films of Joyce Wieland, the well known Canadian artist and filmmaker, were repetitious and generally excruciatingly boring for the majority of the audience [at a conference on women in film and video]. But Wieland feels, a la Gertrude Stein, that there is no such thing as repetition. There is always something new to experience—an interesting theoretical point which may obviously break down in practice."
-- Barbara M. Finkleman
