Gloss: A Measured Response to New Video Art
Vanderbilt Museum of Art
Nashville, Tennessee 37240

August 27 - December 8 2024

Vanderbilt University’s Museum of Art hosts a major new video art exhibition organized by VUMA curator Rachel P. Kreiter.

Over the last decade, video art has expanded from its grainy black-and-white origins into a glittering spectacle of big feelings and big ideas as artists work through our fraught interconnected culture. Featuring works from the US, UK, Europe, and South America, Gloss: A Measured Response to Recent Video Art brings multiple cutting-edge video artworks to Nashville for the first time, the products of life as we experience it now: desperate and hopeful, and forever online.

Gloss: A Measured Response to Recent Video Art runs August 27 - December 8 and examines artists' films from 2015 to now, bringing cutting-edge works from the US, the UK, Europe and South America to Nashville and the region for the first time. Artists include: Larry Achiampong and David Blandy (UK); Feminist Land Art Retreat (Canada); Huw Lemmey and Onyeka Igwe (UK); Louis Blue Newby (UK); Erdem Taşdelen (Canada); Josefa Ntjam (France); Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings (UK); Tourmaline (US); Michelle Williams Gamaker (UK); Bartolina Xixa (Argentina).
