On the occasion of the 2nd annual Brick + Mortar International Video Art Festival, works by renowned international and local artists are integrated with a selection from Independent Curators International’s Project 35, a new program of single-channel videos selected by 35 international curators who have each chosen one work by an artist that they think is important for audiences around the world to experience today. By expanding the network reflected by Project 35, these additions not only demonstrate video as a far-reaching medium, but as something also found in one’s own backyard.
