From December 8, 1984 to February 3, 1985, as part of the On View program, the New Museum presented works by Susan Dallas-Swann in the WorkSpace gallery. 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.
