Abstract

“Time Test: International Video Art Research Exhibition" was jointly organized by the Redtory Museum of Contemporary Art (RMCA), CAFA Art Museum and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, curated by Caitlín Doherty, Dong Bingfeng and Wang Chunchen.

Part I of the exhibition, "Moving Time: Video Art at 50, 1965-2015,” surveys significant works in the last 50 years of video art development in the West. Part 2, "Screen Test: Chinese Video Art since the 1980s," organizes and reviews representative Chinese voices active in moving image art in the last thirty years. A special unit of Hong Kong video art “Simultaneity - Reframing Hong Kong I” proposes (historical) re-readings of artists' moving image from Hong Kong. Linda Lai's DOORS MEDLEY is a selected work in this survey, as an exemplary work as found-footage practices, and the use of video for formal/narrative analysis of mannerism in Cantonese film melodrama in the 1950s and 1960s, highlighting as well as the embedding of gender stereotypes in performances and visual rendering.
