Video Art in Germany/in the USA
GERMAN VIDEO AND PREFORMANCE, 1980
Toronto: Type A, 1980
A discussion on the idea 'Europeans are afraid of technology in art'. Wulf Herzogenrath explains Germany's shy and lazy presentation of video art and photography, in contrast to the United States, due to European mentality of art 'made by hands'. Discusses noteable video art exhibitions in the 70's, and how video art is slowly being accepted in Germany as a legitimate form worth teaching and funding.
