Seed Newsvine"Video Art" by Marcus Curtis
VIDEO ART will be an ongoing series on this blog that will highlight notable contributions to this interesting and always fascinating film/video movement.
Easily mistaken for nightclub wall material, a video like "Video Art" by Marcus Curtis on Vimeo can go by without its rightful praise. That praise should be aimed directly at the first 1:07 of this piece. The rest of the video is fine, but Curtis does something sublime with the Monroe footage at the beginning. He gets us smiling--not wincing, which a lot of video art can inflict on the viewer.
Stay tuned, as I work on my own video art piece "Makeshift Correct." You can become a fan of it in the meantime on Facebook.
