We're All Videofreex

The School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York will be reuniting members of the pioneering video collective Videofreex for a one-day symposium, We're All Videofreex: Changing Media & Social Change from Portapak to Smartphone. Ron Simon, curator of television and video at the Paley Center for Media, will lead a discussion about Subject to Change, the Videofreex production commissioned—and subsequently dropped—by CBS in the 1970s. Following a screening of the group’s work, David A. Ross, chair of the MFA Art Practice Dept at SVA, will moderate a panel on the Videofreex’s contribution to the history of video art and their renewed significance at the moment. 

SYMPOSIUM DETAILS:  To be rescheduled for Spring 2013 due to Hurricane Sandy
