Art in General’s 9th Annual Video Marathon, VALUES, explores the long-lasting influence of ’90s subculture on video practice in contemporary art. Innovative and anarchistic communities based around music flourished at the time, as people sought extreme and experimental alternatives to corporate youth culture. Many young people both in America and abroad became involved in underground scenes and became passionate about the radical ideas, values, lifestyles and esthetics signified by subcultures’hardcore, punk, riot grrrl. rave, underground hip-hop and indie-rock, to name a few’that were regarded as a refuge from a bland, homogenous and consumerist mainstream society. Many of the most interesting artists working today, including those included in VALUES, came of age in those communities.
This program will include the work of, Alex Bag, Sadie Benning, Slater Bradley, Martha Colburn, Devin Flynn, Forcefield, Klara Liden, Anne McGuire, Steven G. Rhodes, Pepo Salazar, Ryan Trecartin and YACHT. Also included in the Video Marathon screening is a selection of videos of live performances by bands from the era, including Bikini Kill, Fugazi, Nation of Ulysses, Nirvana, The Boredoms, Wu-Tang Clan, Underground Resistance, Huggy Bear and others.
VALUES is organized by Josh Kline and Anthony Marcellini
