London discusses the madcap trajectory of video as a pliable medium, and how it moved from the fringe to a full-fledged art form. Attention will be paid to how production, exhibition, and distribution are interdependent and to the way collecting video and media art was slowly taken up by museums, foundations, banks, and private collectors. Saturday, 17 March, 11.00am – 5.00pm.Part Two: The Ideologies behind Exhibiting and Collecting Video and Media Art The course will explore the challenges involved in distributing, exhibiting, and collecting time-based media, both single-channel works as well as installations. Production and exhibition tools are diverse and changed considerably over the years. To exhibit or acquire media artwork, it is necessary to be aware of its specificities. This session, probing the fundamentals of video art, will speak about these technical details as well as how the artists themselves can give valuable insight. London will also speak about proper archival structures that consider the works’ format, software, and climate specifications.-Barbara London (United States) is a curator and writer who founded the video exhibition and collection programmes at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, where she worked between 1973 and 2013.
