Description
Opening reception Friday, April 11, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. with a lecture by artist Paul Slocum at 7:00 p.m.
The University of Dallas Haggerty Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of video works dating from 1970-1978 by five seminal early practitioners of the video medium. The exhibition will be on display from April 5 - May 4. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from noon - 5 p.m.
Video began as a viable artistic medium in the late 1960s, when the Sony Portapak became available to the public. The show investigates the continuities between video art and more established media, including painting and sculpture and even performance, but also examines the innovations of the medium, focusing on its unique ability to transform the perception of identity.

If you occasionally have the hankering for unbridled screaming set to a beat, this Atlanta quintet is your band. Basically, they're the band all the little screamo kids wish they were. Beware: the teenagers own Deep Ellum tonight. More info
