The desire to give greater visibility to her fellow artists and neighbors prompted Joan Logue in 1979 to begin a series of video portraits entitled 30 Second Spots, financed by the National Endowment for the Arts and co-produced by The Kitchen. In it, she hijacks the television format of commercials, devoting one or more episodes to each artist (29 in all for the New York series).
