Although video has become a much more common sight in art galleries and museums, it is still in many ways an emerging artform that is not fully appreciated or understood. With Video Art 101, the Chicago Art Department uses the frame of an art exhibition to teach basic video art concepts. What is unique about the medium of video? How is it different from other media? What are some of the possibilities offered by video? What are some of the basic techniques? What are some of the tools and how are they used? These are some of the questions that this exhibit will try to help answer. It’s an intro video art class masquerading as an art exhibition. Photography by mARTa Sasinowska
