Since the 1970s, she has pioneered in tracking the development of media art from its raw beginnings, and has guided the field to its current position as a seriously collected, sophisticated form of expression.
London has curated more than 120 exhibitions, including one-person shows, including Nam June Paik, Bill Viola, Steina Vasulka, Joan Jonas, Gary Hill, Mako Idemitsu, Valie Export, and Laurie Anderson and thematic projects such as “New Video from China,” “Anime!”, “Automatic Update” and “Looking at Music: Side 2.” Barbara also wrote an essay for the catalogue that will accompany the Nasher Museum‘s upcoming exhibition, “The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl.”
She was the first curator in the US to showcase the work of Asian artists Song Dong, Teiji Furuhashi, Feng Mengbo, and Yang Fudong.
