there somewhere is on view at The Phillips Collection from January 17 through May 3, 2026.
peter campus (b. 1937, New York, New York) is a seminal figure in the history of new media art and a key creative force in elevating video to a contemporary art form. This exhibition highlights one of campus’s iconic early videos from the late 1970s, alongside the debut of four of his latest breakthrough landscape video works, which the artist calls the phillips quartets. These later pieces, inspired by the serene coastline near the artist’s home in Long Island, are marked by a sense of tranquility and introspection, evoking a feeling of being “there somewhere.”
