Video art gained in popularity when the first portable video cameras came on the market in the late 1960s. Thanks to affordable equipment and the breath-taking pace of technological progress, which constantly opened up new possibilities, video art established itself as an important medium for artists in the decades that followed.
The exhibition Cut ! offers a survey of the video holdings of the Aargauer Kunsthaus and, in doing so, continues the series of media-related presentations of the collection, starting with last year’s exhibition Light Sensitive. Photo Art from the Collection.
