This thriving, contemporary manifestation of expanded cinema is many things: visual music, video improvisation, intermedia improvisation, video performance, audio/visual performance, improvised cinema, live-music video, live video collage. This screening surveys a selection of single-channel video works made by artists who perform with the moving image.

Discussants to be announced.
International art competitions, like all juried exhibitions, are predicated on the belief in quality. The taste and expertise of jurors make this system work. With this in mind, what could be more appropriate than a reality television show set in New York City, where aspiring artists compete for fame and recognition? In 2005, working with Gallery HD and Deitch Projects, ARTSTAR, a groundbreaking new television documentary, was announced. ARTSTAR is the first-ever unscripted television series created and produced by an artist, and is set in the New York art world.
