Guerrilla Video: Electrons Outside the Vacuum vol.2
Halifax: Centre For Art Tapes, 2002
Guerrilla Video was featured as part of the Electrons Outside the Vacuum series at the Centre for Art Tapes in 2002. This program describes video works that explore collaboration, social action, and raw aesthetics, curated by Luka, MacSwain, and Pahlke. In the programme "the curators describe the criteria they used for choosing the submissions. They explain they were looking for low-budget, low-tech political work that resisted the mainstream, broke taboos, and met the dictionary definition of 'guerrilla': short, sharp engagements. The artists provide brief descriptions of their videos" (quote taken from the artexte website). Guerrilla Video was the second of three screenings initiated by CFAT's programming committee "as a means of seeing and showing video work that may not typically be sucked into the video art mainstream" (quote taken from Laura MacKay's introduction). Texts by James MacSwain, M. E. Luka, Ariella Pahlke, and Laura MacKay.
Two copies are available, one in yellow, and the other in pink.
