Video Village at Index Art
Curated by Noah Collier and Stephanie Szerlip
Reception: Saturday, April 2nd, 7- 11pm

INDEX ART CENTER is pleased to present "Video Village," a group exhibition and fundraiser for Friends of African Village Libraries (FAVL), exploring experimental forms of ethnographic travelogue and highlighting new outlets for mental conceptions of foreign space and place.

Presenting video and new media installation works, these artists skirt the constraints of traditional channels of documentation. The works acknowledge the many mediations between physical travel and personal depiction, manipulating the ability of medium to become message, and creating abstract and subjective accounts of the cultural landscapes they have traversed.

Artists include: Alan Resnick, Brenna Murphy, Eva Engelbert, Jon Rafman, Lillian Gerson, Noah Collier, Orland Nutt, Petra Cortright, Simone Bailey and Stacia Yeapanis
