Modelo para Armar – Contemporary Argentine Video Art

21.09.2010

Video art has an extended tradition and a relatively consolidated circuit in Argentina. From the decade of 1960, the experimentation with the electronic image has taken a multiplicity of paths and research fields. The works displayed here address some of them. They explore the landscape, delayed times, intimacy, non-linear narratives, social realities, and poetry. They have been presented by Gabriela Golder, an acknowledged artist and curator, who participated in the exhibition “Tales of Resistance and Change. Artists from Argentina“.

Gabriela Golder (born in 1971) studied cinematography at the Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires and completed graduate studies at the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela and Université Paris 8. She has completed residencies at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada; the Centre International de la Création Vidéo (CICV) in Montbéliard, France; the Kunsthochschule für Medien in Cologne, Germany, and the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, United States. She is an independent curator, professor and co-founder of “Continente”, a research center for electronic art based in the Universidad de Tres de Febrero, Argentina. She has received numerous grants and awards for her work at many of the international video art festivals. She lives and works in Buenos Aires.
