It is difficult to describe the experiences of the set that I looked at the Media Forum. Since I am in the process of the accumulation in this area, then all received the impression to me interesting and useful, although I saw things much better. For example, video-art collection of Francois Pinault, has recently shown in the "Garage» (№ 1 for me - Bill Viola). If the video-art pretend to be art, then it is inevitable parallels with historical masterpieces and cultural associations. This is something that appealed to Andrew Kanchalovsky in an interview you posted on the forum a few days ago. The cultural layer is composed of the "eternal" to reflect human existence. These themes - life, death, love, duality of human nature - are actualized artists, including video artists.
Many videoartisty originally were educated painters, so the dialogue with the masters of the past they can not avoid it. For example, Chinese Yang Fudong. In MUAR showed its six-channel video installation "To the east of the village of Que. Endless black and white image of the archaic existence of an abandoned village, where lived his grandmother and grandfather. People are depicted on only two screens, and the remaining four - the life of feral dogs in the vicinity of the village: the lame, half blind animals trying to survive. Flock of dogs - a model of society. I could not tear myself away from the dogs, but people were not interested. Fundonga Institute's teachers were educated in the USSR, so they were strong in critical realism, which took Fundong.
Videos Jasper Just more cinematic, because Education, he directed, and not a painter. His belongings are exploring the theme of Eros (sexy older woman, homosexual couples) at the level of psychology. There is not one of his arms, but facial expressions, movements in the plastic stretchy space and a monochrome sound. And no "poor art", as in Fudonga - on the contrary, aesthetic quality of the picture.
Video Eve Sussman made no impression on me. I think that her attempt to "revive" "Las Meninas" by Velazquez, failed compared with those on a plan of works by Bill Viola. A draft "white on white" for a Russian art expert (well-informed, that is "white box" or Malevich painting Veisberg) can no longer give a fresh impressions. Perhaps for America (and it is - an American), the phrase "white on white" and sounds innovative, but not for Russian.
The main thing is my impression: works of video art - meditative process of comprehension there laid a priori: movies painfully long-drawn, as if they tuned us to forget the mortal vanity and sink into meditation.
In general, Fross, it should look. What really here to talk! I'm something never seen on the forum analysis of works of artists - all simply placing pictures for others to look. Many commercials c Media Forum is on You Tube, but they are of poor quality. Still, if I shake your skeptical of video-art, or even interested in you, then consider their mission accomplished. And soon, perhaps, between us will dialogue and exchange of experiences. And if not, the phrase "no accounting for tastes" too, no one has repealed.
