ART OFFICE for Film + Video is pleased to announce the next installment of our online exhibition project: The MOVING INDEX: 2010.
This season, we welcome five guest curators: Paul Young, Stamatina Gregory, Hyunjoo Byeon, Catherine Taft and Courtney J. Martin. Each will have a two-month slot on www.artoffice.org to show three selected works. We go live on March 1st!
The MOVING INDEX hopes to create an intersection between art screenings and video-sharing websites, recalling artists' use of public-access television in the 80s to reach large audiences. This project allows us to share art film and video beyond the scope of our screenings.

His articles have appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, Playboy, Elle, Variety, Angeleno, Dwell, Surface, Artnews, Art & Auction and many more. His weekly column, "Untitled," which covered contemporary art issues, ran in the Los Angeles Times for two years, and his "City Art" column ran in Angeleno for nearly five years. He is also the author of Art Cinema (Taschen), which explores ways in which art practices converge with moving imagery, and he curates video programs and exhibitions worldwide. His most recent is "CinemaLoop," an invitational video installation at Arco 2010 (Madrid) and "Remote Viewing," a large-scale survey of contemporary video, which travels to the Centre d'Art Santa Monica in Barcelona in May 2010.
