"Art is very much like rock'n'roll
you basically have to be able to dance to it in order for it to
exist"
(Lawrence Weiner, SIKSI 1995)
The distinction in recent contemporary art
between what constitutes a "pop video" and what is "video
art" has become blurred to the point at which grey areas
begin to arise. The implications of this cross cultural shift
are both seductive and problematic, opening up new areas of discussion
and debate around band branding, the commodification of art and
the question of whether this type of cross-cultural inbreeding
leads to cultural perdition?
Metallic KO will offer Scottish and
Finnish artists working across the field of audio-visual culture
an opportunity to present their work within a critical enviroment,
while offering an audience the opportunity to
experience and participate in a diverse range of contemporary
art and music performances and debate. MORE
