AVANT_TV dealt with the ambiguous interaction between art and television.

TelevisionÂs birth pangs coincided with the very height of modernist art, the boom of non-objective suprematism also occurring during the mid twenties. Although the nascent medium was subsequently adopted by national institutions, recognized as being an ideal carrier for transmissions of social and cultural thrust, artists aspirations to dent the flow of info-entertainment has remained marginal. Only with the advent of consumer-video and a significant re-tooling could artists begin responding on something of their own terms. Now that programs even featuring art are becoming next to invisible amongst even the most high-minded of public service broadcasters, the available technology is such that artists can potentially create their own channels, narrow-casting or unicasting their own personal vision of television. This is a look on how television became art practice, and how art can feedback into television practice.

With Raimundas Malasauskas (CAC TV), David Garcia (N5M), and Ian White (Whitechapel Gallery). Moderated by Emily Pethick (CASCO Projects).
