We're sad to share the terrible news that Charles Dockum's Dockum Research Lab in Altadena, CA has burned down in the horrendous LA fires.
The building contained his archive relating to his Mobilcolor work, and his last Mobilcolor Projector. Otherwise, there are some papers and diagrams at the Guggenheim NY's archive, and some papers, photographs and all of his Mobilcolor films at CVM. Many were restored by CVM, with grants from the NFPF. His daughter Greta who lived on the same street lost her house. She is OK. For those near Palm Springs, CA, we have Dockum's 1952 Mobilcolor Performance film in a group exhibition, Particles & Waves, at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Visit CVM's Dockum Research site, http://www.centerforvisualmusic.org/Dockum PS All of CVM's films and archives are fine. Not all are even in LA anymore.
