VideoChannel is happy to re-launch in December2010 part 1 of the videoart project, entitled “Family Affairs”:
While Family Affair II, featured in November 2010 was focussing on “Father” and “Mother, father, brothers & Sisters”, “Family Affairs I” – devoted solely to “Mother” as the central relational person within a family was already issued in 2008 in the context of the 4th festival edition of Cologne International Videoart Festival – CologneOFF IV .
Re-launching “Mother” gives the viewer the opportunity to find out how artists deal with their own identity by exploring the closest area in an individual’s life – the family.
The project is initiated and curated by Wilfried Agricol de Cologne, chief curator of VideoChannel.
