Description:
This curatorial project showcased video work which steps outside the frames that define video art, cinema, the documentary, and pop-culture. The selected works were divided into in four thematic programs: Pop Goes the Video, Re-Sampling Hollywood, Shifting the Fulcrum, and Tangential Documentaries. The featured artists have crossed over the boundaries of these groups, leaving us to question the institutional limits facing creative practice today.
