The Latino Video Art Festival of New York. With 147 artists from Latin America and Spain, some of them US residents
Forty artists will show their work in the Latino Video Art Festival of New York. 300 video artworks were submitted in response to the open call. The works that will be screened were selected from those submitted to the open call and others identified by the festival curator: in total, 147 creative artists from Latin America and Spain, some of them US residents. 'Region 0' showcases current trends in the field of video art, highlighting the distinct conceptual and technical approaches of the participating creators. The festival, in its first edition, gives visibility to the different perspectives of the creators, who reflect a complex and dynamic sociocultural context where historical, conceptual, economic and technological factors converge. In some cases this vision translates into works where the artist utilizes the art world to highlight repetitive social patterns within a profesional field that is supposed to be transgressive. After the screenings, the festival will close on Saturday 26 with a site-specific video-art-music installation. Curated and organized by Eva Mendoza Chandas. All the program in the website.
