Video Art

Since its emergence in the 1960s and early 1970s, video art has been both a hothouse and a sanctuary for radical modes of expression disparaged by the mainstream art community. This program combines film clips and interviews with artists John Wood and Paul Harrison to consider a medium that continues to fly in the face of the fine art tradition and the culture industry. Host Dave Beech argues that if video art spurns convention, it is not because it settles for less, but because it asks for more. Some content may be objectionable. Produced by the Open University. (30 minutes)
