First-generation Video
The Globe and Mail, June 14, 1988
This article praises Vintage Video; a show grouping 19 works from the generation of artists who first used video. The show's curator, Renée Baert, has created a program examining several prominent themes in Canadian video in the 1970s. These themes include issues of corporeality and all things somatic and kinesthetic, mediation and intimacy, the ideology behind mass media, and finally, the influence of feminism upon the thoughts and narratives on view in Canadian art in general, and Canadian video art in specific.
