{"value"=>"<p>The production files comprise administrative and planning documents that reveal the technical and organizational details of Shamberg's work as a producer and director of film, music videos, television shows, art installations, and live performances. The files are arranged into four Subseries, Music Videos; Film and Television; Art Installations and Exhibitions; and Performances. Each Subseries is arranged alphabetically by band name, artist name, or project title.</p> <p>The Music Videos Subseries contains production files for such bands and performers as the B-52s, Luka Bloom, Blue Aeroplanes, Kristin Hersh, Indigo Girls, Aimee Mann, Poi Dog Pondering, R.E.M., and Throwing Muses. These files include agreements, budgets, call sheets, correspondence, crew lists, expense reports, permits, production notes, purchase orders, storyboards, talent files, treatments, and travel information. Shamberg worked most extensively as a producer for New Order, and there are files here dating from 1985 to 2001 for \"The Perfect Kiss,\" \"True Faith,\" \"Blue Monday,\" \"Fine Time,\" \"Round and Round,\" \"Run,\" \"Electronic,\" \"Regret,\" \"World,\" \"1963,\" and \"Crystal.\" Also of significance is Shamberg's hand-illustrated storyboard for the B-52's \"Revolution Earth\" music video.

These files hold correspondence, contracts, exhibition catalogs, flyers, invoices, notes, programs, posters, and scripts. Materials from Shamberg's Home Screen Home Exhibition and Turtle Salon installations are both held here as well.</p> <p>The Performances Subseries contains files from Shamberg's work with Philippe Decouflé, New Order, and the Talking Heads, as well as files from his tenure at the Kitchen, and his production work for Philip Glass and Robert Wilson's <span class=\"title\">Einstein on the Beach</span> opera.
