Artistas mujeres fueron pioneras del videoarte en las décadas de los sesenta y setenta. Los primeros vídeos, a menudo, fueron registros de performances en monocanal que criticaban los medios de masas. Hoy los videoartistas utilizan formatos de este popular medio, más que criticarlos. Para crear experiencias inmersivas, los artistas construyen sets, filman en localizaciones remotas e incorporan tecnologías digitales y de animación.
La exposición, fruto de adquisiciones recientes, subraya los procesos de invención de las artistas pioneras en la vanguardia del vídeo.
Reúne obras de Dara Birnbaum, Kimsooja, Mariko Mori, Mwangi Hutter, Alex Prager, Pipilotti Rist, Michal Rovner, Margaret Salmon, Eve Sussman/Rufus Corporation y Janaina Tschäpe.
Total Art: Contemporary Videos, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington. Hasta el 12 de octubre de 2014.

Early videos were often recordings of performances or single-channel shorts that critiqued mainstream media. Video artists today are attuned to popular media formats rather than critical of them. To create immersive, experiential works, artists design elaborate stage sets, film at remote locations, incorporate digital technology and animation, and meticulously plan viewing spaces.
Featuring recently acquired works in NMWA’s collection as well as loans from private and public collections, Total Art highlights the inventive processes that sustain women artists’ position at the forefront of video. Total Art reflects the continued global scope of video.
The exhibition features works by Dara Birnbaum, Kimsooja, Mariko Mori, Mwangi Hutter, Alex Prager, Pipilotti Rist, Michal Rovner, Margaret Salmon, Eve Sussman/Rufus Corporation, and Janaina Tschäpe.
