VISITING ARTISTS + SCHOLARS LECTURE SERIES

New York-based curator Barbara London is the author of Video/Art, The First Fifty Years, recently published by Phaidon. In her talk she explores how video art began as gear first reached the consumer market in the mid-1960s, when much of the world seemed to be in radical transition. She illustrates the madcap trajectory of a pliable medium, as video opened up and became a multifaceted art form that grew to encompass a range of formats, including not only single-screen videos but also multiscreen installations and projections; immersive audiovisual environments; and moving-image works that are streamable as digital files. Her story follows her journey as a proponent of the art form’s progress.

 

Artist ( Description ): 

Barbara London is a New York-based curator and writer, who founded the video-media exhibition and collection programs at The Museum of Modern Art, where she worked between 1973 and 2013. Her current projects include the book Video Art/The First Fifty Years (Phaidon: 2020), and the exhibition “Seeing Sound” (Independent Curators International, 2020-2024.)
