Videorover: Season 6

NURTUREart is pleased to present Videorover: Season 6 in partnership with RAPID PULSE, an International Performance Art Festival based in Chicago.

The sixth season of Videorover showcases performance-inspired works made for the camera for presentation on screen. The works in this exhibition were created using performance as a departure point and medium, privileging the body as the vehicle for production but also looking to the camera as a collaborator. In these works, performance acts allowed the camera to complete them, mediating the gap between performer and audience.

Expanding the boundaries of what is or can be performance art is one of the many focuses of RAPID PULSE, as well as questioning ideas on presence, live-ness and mediation. Curated by Rachel Steinberg and Giana Gambino, Videorover: Season 6 featured works by artists: Bridget Batch + Kevin Cooley, Heather Delaney, Kerry Downey + Joanna Seitz in collaboration with Jen Rosenblit, Michael H Hall, Constantin Hartenstein, Gabriel Hosovsky, Lindsay Packer, Daniel Seiple, Alina Tenser, Jacob Tonski, and Roland Wegerer.

NURTUREart’s video program, Videorover aims at becoming an ever-expanding forum for new and emerging video artists. The works included in this season were shown in a screening event both at NURTUREart Gallery on May 23 and at the Nightingale Gallery on June 5 in Chicago as part of RAPID PULSE’s ten day long international performance art festival.
