VIDEO MELEE
OPEN CALL FOR MOVING IMAGERY IN ANY FORMAT
Artists are invited to bring moving imagery, either pre-recorded or created live, for "Video Melee" in Gallery Aferro’s main gallery. "Video Melee" will go on from 5/1 till 5/28. The main gallery is 19 feet wide by 170 feet long. Email to express your intent as soon as possible to submit[at]aferro[dot]org, bring equipment and imagery to 73 Market St Newark NJ.
Video Melee works as follows:
From 4/28-4/30, from 11-7, bring the means to display your imagery, i.e. DVD player/screen combos, TV’s, projectors, etc. Plug your equipment in and set up your equipment to loop. This will go on until all space and available electrical power is exhausted. Enjoy the opening reception on 5/1. After 5/28, remove your equipment.
Video Melee is a democratic experiment, less about claims to “firsts” than about the enactment of small rituals and gestures in downtowns everywhere.

Extra Credit: Gary Hill talk at EAI
*Go, write 3 paragraphs in your sketchbook, and I'll give you extra credit.
GARY HILL
Book Launch: Screening + Conversation
with Gary Hill, George Quasha + Charles Stein
Tuesday, April 27, 2010 6:30 pm
Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI)
535 West 22nd Street, 5th Floor
New York, NY 10011
www.eai.org
Admission free
Please RSVP: info@eai.org
Please join EAI for a special launch event celebrating the publication of An Art of Limina: Gary Hill’s Works and Writings, a new monograph devoted to the works of artist Gary Hill. At EAI, Hill will appear in conversation with the book's authors, George Quasha and Charles Stein, poets, writers and artists who have worked interactively and performed with Hill for over three decades. Hill will discuss and screen selections from his early single-channel videos, tracing the development of his distinctive approach to language, sound and the moving image. Written in close connection with the artist and featuring a foreward by Lynne Cooke, An Art of Limina is the most comprehensive and in-depth treatment of Hill's work to date, presenting extensive information on 104 of his works from the 1970s through the present, as well as seminal writings by the artist.
Gary Hill's art forges an important investigation into the relationships between words and electronic images. Originally trained as a sculptor, Hill began working in video in 1973 and has produced a major body of single-channel video and video installations. Hill's first tapes explored formal properties of the emerging medium, particularly through integral conjunctions of electronic visual and audio elements. This exploration would give way to thoroughly unique investigations of linguistics and consciousness in works characterized by their experimental rigor, conceptual precision and imaginative leaps of discovery. Perhaps as much as any artist using image/sound media, Hill's work in video is about, and is, a new form of writing.
