the biggest names in video art
Baltimore, Isaac Julien, UK, 2003
The mid to late 1960s was a period of dynamic social, economical and cultural change that would see a radical new art form emerging from the United States and Europe.
Now, forty years later, ACMI presents the largest historical survey exhibition of international video art ever staged in Australia in Centre Pompidou Video Art 1965-2005.
Drawn from the extensive collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the exhibition explores the evolution of video art over four decades. It features installations, videotapes and related documents across four themes: Imaginative Television, Identity Issues, From Videotape to Installation, and Post-Cinema.
The show presents twenty works by 16 of the most influential video artists from around the globe, including some of the most important artists working in this field: Isaac Julien (UK), Bill Viola (USA), Pierre Huyghe (France), Gary Hill (USA), Valie Export (Austria), Bruce Nauman (USA) and Jean-Luc Godard (France).
A series of lively weekly forums featuring a number of Australian artists - including Philip Brophy, David Rosetzky, Lyndal Jones, Sue Ford, Brendan Lee, and Techa Noble (Kingpins) - will discuss various aspects of video art throughout the period of the exhibition.
