Video art
Works by 17 trailblazers in experimental video art from China, Japan and South Korea are being shown at Refocusing on the Medium: The Rise of East Asia Video Art, a survey exhibition mounted by the Minsheng Art Museum in Beijing. It is an unprecedented exploration of a distinctive phenomenon in contemporary art-how video as a new medium is reshaping artistic creation since the 1960s. It takes viewers to the past and the frontiers of video art, capturing the differences with film and photos as an independent form. Featured artists include Katsuhiro Yamaguchi, Nam June Paik, Yoko Ono and Chen Shaoxiong. The exhibition ends on May 8.
10 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 9 Jiuxianqiao Bei Lu, Chaoyang district, Beijing. 010-5323-2111.
