From its earliest days, artists have embraced video’s radical potential — as a medium for artistic expression, a tool for political agitation, and a means with which to question the status quo.
‘Red Green Blue’ brought together works from the 1970s through to the present day. Presented over three episodes, each running for a month, the exhibition brought together more than 60 rarely seen works drawn from the archives, artist holdings and the Griffith University Art Collection.
