From January 3 to January 22, 1984, the New Museum presented works by Michael Byron, Lisa Hoke, and Amy Sillman as part of the On View program. The On View program was envisioned as a forum for emerging artists to present small thematic exhibitions and video works for approximately three weeks at a time. This flexible format enabled curators to respond to the constantly changing focus of contemporary art, and to present new works to the public directly from artists’ studios.
