OUR SELECTION COMMITTEE

The works presented at the Videonale were selected with great care by this year's selection committee. A total of 27 international artistic positions past Videonales were selected for the exhibition, opening up an exciting dialog between the past and present of video art. Historical video works meet new productions that impressively document the spectrum of what video can do as an art form and what has characterized it as a narrative medium from the very beginning.

Our heartfelt thanks go to the members of the commission Kat Lawinia Gorska , Kathrin Jentjens and Tasja Langenbach.
