Moving Image
Waterfront New York Tunnel, New York
The contemporary video art fair. The newly formed Moving Image Curatorial Advisory Committee for this secon edition is inviting a selection of international commercial galleries and non-profit institutions to present single-channel videos, single-channel projections, video sculptures, and other larger video installations.
Moving Image, the contemporary video art fair, returns to New York's Waterfront Tunnel, March 8-11,
2012, with 31 artists presenting single-channel videos, sculptures, and installations represented by
galleries from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and North America. Moving Image was conceived
to offer a viewing experience with the excitement and vitality of a fair, while allowing moving image-based
artworks to be understood and appreciated on their own terms. For the 2012 edition, we are delighted to
announce an expanded program of presentations and panels, including what promise to be very lively
discussions on conservation and preservation of video artwork, the future of video art technology, and
what you actually get when you buy video art.
Highlights of the 2012 New York program includes works by highly influential experimental filmmaker Ken
Jacobs (presented by Electronic Arts Intermix, New York) and legendary pioneer of conceptual art,
VALIE EXPORT (presented by Charim Galerie, Vienna, Austria). Along with a 2003 work by Zhang Peili
(Saamlung, Hong Kong), widely considered the father of Chinese video art; a new work by
renowned New York artist Mary Lucier (Lennon, Weinberg, New York), and an installation by the
celebrated Estonian artist Jaan Toomik (Temnikova & Kasela Gallery, Tallinn, Estonia), these works
reflect Moving Image's dedication to presenting historically important artworks (image below from
Toomik's 2004 video, Seagulls).
Moving Image New York 2012 also presents
several large-scale installations, including works by
Martha Wilson (PPOW, New York), AES+F (Anna
Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne/Sydney, Australia)
Janet Biggs (Winkleman Gallery, New York), Josh
Azzarella (DCKT Contemporary, New York), and
Daniel Phillips (DODGEGallery, New York).
New works in the program by emerging artists
include videos by Kate Gilmore (Braverman
Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel); Alex Prager ( Yancey
Richardson, New York, NY); Jesse McLean
(Interstate Projects, Brooklyn, New York); and
Jesse Fleming (The Company, Los Angeles, CA;

and the Razor).
