Overview

This event is now sold out

Due to popular demand, a second screening has been added to the programme in the final week of Dara Birnbaum's exhibition.

This screening focuses on works by video artists who began to experiment with video as an art form in the 1970s, including Vito Acconci, Ant Farm, John Baldessari, Chris Burden and Cynthia Maughan.
