Video salon 4, Curatorial Rebound Project
Collective exhibition of video art gathering 200 artists from 30 different countries: this is a fragmentary panorama of a contemporary activity whose formal multiplicity and abundance coerce us into questioning the reality of what is “visual”, it’s temporality and it’s mobility.
We have no other ambition here than to open up a crack in the video-graphic universe, to give a glimpse of the richness and multiplicity of form of the medium, with no attempt at extracting one or several tendencies that would serve to somehow refine an act of showing that intends to be purely “raw”. No subjects, no central questions, no techniques, no set time limit. The curatorial work functions by ricochet. The gallery invites numerous artistes and several curators, as each of the artists can invite another, who in turn can submit the work of a third artist, etc.
We present a free and empirical principle of accumulation of works, to which the spontaneity of the presentation corresponds: free access to approximately 150 videos, few monitors, video-projectors and dvd players.
