VIDEO ON SCREEN: THE EARLY YEARS IN EUROPE DAY II
Tate Modern, London
29 November 2024
What does it mean to screen a work, made to be shown on a TV monitor, on a cinema screen?
Focusing on pioneering works produced in Europe (1960-1980), this two-day programme questions the possibilities that emerge from this distortion. These works were either made using synthesizers, largely designed for projection, or intended for television and shot on 16mm film.
Day two presents a series of works made for television, first filmed on 16mm and subsequently transferred to video.
