Video Art in Dialogue

VIDEO WINDOW presents, in cooperation with the legendary studio community VIA, nine well-known artistic positions from Basel and Zurich. During three evening events entitled Video Art in Dialogue, each position shows a recent work for discussion.

The aim of the events is to comparatively debate artistic interests, strategies and forms of expression exemplified by the videos and a workshop-like dialogue between the artists, the curator and the public and to jointly discover the multifaceted nature of video art.

Furthermore, a special issue of the _957 Independent Art Magazine, which has been published by the Lucerne artist Stephan Wittmer since 2012, appears as a publication and programme booklet for the series.

Each evening concludes with the opportunity to continue the discussion and to network over a plate of pasta at the venue.
