WRITING ABOUT HEARING VIDEO: An experiment in archival research, exhibiting video art, and curatorial writing
Toronto: Vtape, 2019
Hearing Video, curated by Lewis Kaye, is a large research experiment in exhibiting video art and curatorial writing. Kaye documents in great detail, through notes and critical writing the process in which he selects from the VTape catalogue during his residency.
Lewis Kaye dissects the multiple approaches taken to source, preview, note-take, select and prepare an exhibition of video works that when played together creates an overwhelming, looming soundscape within the Commons presentation space.
