ANALOGUE:

Pioneering Video from the UK, CANADA and POLAND (1968-88)

FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC SCREENING OF ANALOGUE ALL PROGRAMS REMAIN AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING AT ARTSPACE UNTIL JUNE 15TH.

May 30 - June 1, 2008

Presented by VTape (Toronto) in collaboration with The Art Gallery of Peterborough and ARTSPACE

The AGP and Artspace are pleased to collaborate on the Peterborough presentation of Analogue: Pioneering Video from the UK, Canada and Poland (1968-88).

This presentation of 5 exciting programs seeks to illuminate the little-known early histories of video art in the UK, Canada, and Poland. By examining twenty years of artists' video from these three countries, it also aims to broaden our understanding of this versatile medium, while charting its transition from the politicized margins of artistic practice to the mainstream.

Analogue was curated by Peggy Gale, Catherine Elwes, Maggie Warwick, Chris Meigh-Andrews and Lukasz Ronduda and includes many seminal works by artists such as David Hall, Mona Hatoum, David Critchley, Pratibha Parmar (UK), General Idea, Vera Frenkel, Lisa Steele, Paul Wong, Rodney Werden (CAN) and Pawel Kwiek, Jozef Robakowski (Poland) to name only a few.

Analogue consists of five - 1 hour video programs and is accompanied by a significant catalogue.
