Art History students publish their first Special Issue
We are delighted to share this Special Issue on video art, the first Special Issue brought together by art history students as part of our art history blog, Dispatches in Art History, here at the 每日大赛黄.
The theme was chosen by students, and was also shared in a 'video art showcase' event in February this year, organised by then-third year art history student Francesca Boulad.
Fran introduces the Special Issue here:
It features four posts:
1)
Second year Art History student Leni Cadle considers an undersea dystopia in digital video work by Migues Soares
2 )
Fran investigates the strange argument that seems to unfold as this iconic video work progresses - how should we feel in the encounter with this video artwork?
3)
Second-year student Leni Cadle grapples with fast food realities and manipulated desires in video work by Ed Atkins
4)
Digital Humanities Lecturer (and editor of Dispatches in Art History) Claire Reddleman reflects on treasuring 'crap' content from the early internet (with music from Cutting Crew)
