comunicato stampa

From January 11 through March 8 the Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Arts is presenting a survey of video art from 1970 to 2000. In eight weeks a selection of more than 60 video works and eight installations will be shown. Particularly the construction of the installations is unique, as many of the installations selected are known only from visual records or descriptions. By reconstructing them they can again be shown to the public and be described and recorded in a proper manner for the future. Among the installations to be set up anew are those by Servaas, Ginny Vos, Elsa Stansfield en Madelon Hooykaas and Miguel-Ángel Cardenas.

All of the works selected will be subdivided into one of four central themes within video art: mass communication, registration, medium-specific and narrative. At various points works will be removed and new works installed. This exchange will make shifts within the oeuvre of particular artists and currents visible - and make it possible to exhibit more works. In a special information space it will be possible for the public to view on monitor all the works that will be shown during the eight weeks.

Mass communication
Utilizing video for its possibilities for making television oneself or to parody or comment on television - is central. In this theme work by Wim T Schippers, Marinus Boezem, Jaap Drupsteen, Moniek Toebosch and others will be presented.

Registration
The use of video to record an act or process, with works by Marina Abramovic, Ben D'Armagnac, Jan van Munster, Wim Gijzen and others.

Medium specific
Works which investigate the technical possibilities and characteristics of the new visual language, as found in works by Peter Struyken, Peter Bogers, Jaap de Jonge, Livinus van de Bundt, and more.

Narrative
Video links up with the development of again telling stories in the visual arts, and finds increasing points of contact with cinematic language. Including work by Lydia Schouten, Pieter Baan Müller and Tjarda Sixtma and Michiel Vijselaar.

Many of the works selected come from the holdings of the Netherlands Media Art Institute, which has built up an extensive collection since its founding in 1978. In addition to the collections of Monte Video and Time Based Arts the Netherlands Media Art Institute houses the collections of the Lijnbaan Center, De Appel and Instituut Collectie Nederland. As well as older works, the Netherlands Media Art Institute acquires works by promising young artists. About 25 titles are added to the collection annually.

'Thirty Years Dutch Video Art' is also the subject of a publication on Dutch video art from 1970-2000, edited by Jeroen Boomgaard (UVA, Witte Raaf) and Bart Rutten (Netherlands Media Art Institute), to be issued by NAI publishers in Rotterdam in January, 2003.

A teaching packet has also been developed for Thirty Years Dutch Video Art, consisting of two ArTTapes and a handout. The teaching packet provides an introduction to video art in general, with special attention for the history of Dutch video art. It is intended for students in the secondary school art and culture class (CKV2), and relates to the themes in the CKV2 program. The packet can be used in combination with a visit to the exhibition, or independently. This means the packet can be used anywhere in the country, and for a longer period. The new ArTTapes contain a selection of video works from the 1970s (Marina Abromovic, Wim Gijzen, Pieter Engels, Jan van Munster, and others) and the 1980s (Pieter Baan Muller, Lydia Schouten and Peter Bogers, among others). They supplement the previously issued ArTTapes 1, 2 and 3 (covering the 1990s).

A number of lectures will also be organized, forming an introduction to video art. These lectures will illuminate the history of the medium and its technical aspects, and discuss a number of the specific works.

In cooperation with De Balie and Steim, an auxiliary program will be organized which will cast light on the borderlands of video art - developments in experimental film and audio art.

Opening January 10, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
