Overview
Amongst all the fanfare of the opening of War and peace
and in between at the AGNSW, another show
seems to have slipped quietly under the radar. It’s a shame really because Video
Swell Sydney is a mini showcase of some
superior video art.
Featuring work by Sydney’s video art heavyweights, The
Kingpins, TV Moore and Kate Murphy — and that powerhouse of contemporary art
himself, Shaun Gladwell, Video Swell Sydney
is an opportunity to see some of the very best works minus the distraction of a
group show.
The AGNSW is keeping mum about the details (although they
promise a program is forthcoming, check out their website for updates). What
they are saying is ‘Four Artists. Four Videos. Two weeks per screening’. It’s a
little bit like those old Ansett mystery flights — you’re not sure where you
are going, but you know it’s going to be good.
