Home is Not a Friendly Place: A Selection of Video Art from the Collection of the Video-Forum at Neuer Berliner Kunstverein
Kathrin Becker
Jan 11 2004
Like never before, in the 60s and 70s the mass media experience was dominated by images of the threatened body confronted with violence. Hence, video art of this early phase did not regard the body as an intact home of the Self. This view was advanced particularly by female artists engaged in the act of mapping the Self. The video screening “Home is Not a Friendly Place” presents positions within video art ranging from the 70s to the immediate present that deal with the internal and external threat to the Self. These works are selected from the collection of the Video-Forum at Neuer Berlin Kunstverein.
