The exhibition features two newly restored video sculptures including Duchampiana: Duchamp's Grave- Kubota's first video sculpture created in 1974 and originally shown at the Kitchen, New York. The other recently restored work, Video Rock Garden, premiered in Kubota's 1996 solo exhibition Video is Ghost of Yourself at Lance Fung Gallery, New York and was her final experiment in video sculpture. Also included in the exhibition are Niagara I, representing the development of Kubota's multimedia immersive environments, Video Poem, which premiered at the Kitchen with Duchamp's Grave in 1975, and Meta-Marcel: Window, 1976, the origin of the flower imagery that appears in Video Rock Garden.
