In the 6 months since we put up our "video commissary"
shingle, a lot of fantastic video art and video art people have
passed through our doors. Ours is a unique vantage point from
which to survey this particular slice of the art scene, but one
where it would be easy to forget some really great stuff without
taking a moment to take stock of what we've seen.
To that end, we offer a twice-yearly program - a semiennial -
of the high water marks, the standouts, the stuff that made an
impression. The immersive video equivalent of "come hang
out a my place and listen to some records."
The curatorial criteria is no more complicated than this is the
best new stuff we've seen. We've been turned on to great work
and we're just itching to pass it along. But we can offer up a
few rough rules for what appeals to us:
video that loves its content more than its technology
video that doesn't mistake a technique for an idea
video that is in conversation with contemporary art as a whole
video that doesn't take itself too seriously
video that sells itself
video that rocks the house
