RECORD > AGAIN! 40 Years of Video Art, Part 2
Kunsthaus Dresden
Städtische Galerie für Gegenwartskunst
From 29/11/2009 to 14/02/2010
RECORD > AGAIN! is a collaborative project with the Centre for Art and Media Technology in Karlsruhe ZKM. It presents restored video works from the last 40 years that are exemplary reflections of the diversity of the German video scene, especially the medium’s early days. What is being shown are the artistic experiments, the pleasure involved in discovering a new means of artistic expression and the satisfaction derived from communicating and interacting. Both in the artists’ actions and the social atmosphere of the first decades there is a tangible euphoria which is based on a belief in the opportunities offered by this technology as a new medium for exchanging ideas between artists and civil society as a whole. Documenting immediate surroundings, expanding the perception of the body and the involving other people in the actual artistic process represent this potential for extending the artistic field of action. Advantage was also taken of the possibilities of mediating art by means of the new medium, video, and television too.
