Thats Where the Action Is is a fifty-minute BBC television assignment dealing with the 1965 New York mayoral race between John Lindsay, Abraham Beame, and William Buckley. The artists first experience with a camera crew and his first encounter with an ongoing event, the result is his most journalistic film. It is also most remote from the acerbic tone of the «radical scavenging» for which he was to become famous, and the least inclined to escape from the confines of the bourgeois problematic within which it is posed. (Thomas Waugh)
