Time
is Love Screening is an annual program of projectable videos from an
international selection of artists on the theme of love in hard times. Time is Love presents approximately twenty five works made in the last three years by artists active around the world. The screening explores forms of artistic expression rising from society and the new media's use of technology. The project aims to consider the work of these artists as part of the global phenomenon that is contemporary art, and asks the audience to reflect upon how the time that led to the production of these works was formed. It wishes to support and promote the new movements and trends in contemporary culture. It is a showcasing opportunity for emerging and established artists who are pushing the elements of video and moving image practice. It is also an opportunity for audiences to engage with video works by gaining greater understanding and enjoyment. The selected videos are innovative works which use technology in ingenious way with narrative, non-narrative, documentary, animation, performance or experimental. Time is Love Screening brings to the world a refreshing perspective on video art. |
