NETS Victoria has a rich history of supporting video artists, touring their work to galleries throughout Australia, often with guest curators, in a variety of contexts. This showcase explores a selection of these artists and more. Video Now presents a wide array of video-based practices, from explorations of bodily experience and reflections on the fleeting nature of time, to symbolic acts of endurance and social relations. The exhibition posits that contemporary video can be captivating, provocative and confounding. Be enthralled by an overview of video art today and its generative nature as an art form of our times.
Curated by Jessica Row, Jenna Rain Warwick, and Claire Watson.
This project is supported by the Victorian government through Creative Victoria.
