Art in General, New York, January 10, 2008.
Part of the 10th Anniversary Video Marathon, organized by Hanne Mugaas.
The lecture by writer and curator Ed Halter took its starting point from the work of Washington, DC-based Jeff Krulik, maker of the legendary video Heavy Metal Parking Lot. In his talk, Halter addressed the utopian hopes and mundane realities of public access television, the question of fandom and subjectivity, underground VHS bootlegging as proto-file-sharing, criticism of art and comedy, and the challenge of defining the term "artist", and in particular, "video artist".
