Harry Zhuang, an animation filmmaker has a review of Video: an art, a history 1965-2010 currently exhibiting at the Singapore Art Museum. The exhibition features Video Art and installations from the Centre Pompidou’s travelling exhibition as well as examples from Singapore and the region.

Visiting “Video, an Art, a History 1965 – 2010” was quite an experience for me. This was my first time attending an art event purely on Video Art. There were some that couldn’t really get my attention. But there were some that would make me sit there for a longer duration.

…

The overall experience of this event is really an eye opener for me. It has shown me how video artists were able to break boundaries and explored all sort of creative ways in using the video medium to create art. This makes me wonder that sometimes some of those highly unique films that we see in film festivals could have only been a fraction of what they had learn and explore in the realm of video art. And those video art artists are the true ‘Vincent van Gogh’ of the field of motion pictures.
