EVR screening of the films

2 October - 7 October 2012
Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova - MSUM

EVR (e-flux video rental) is a project by artists Anton Vidokle and Julieta Aranda. It is conceived as a video archive, a projection space, and a free video rental. The video archive is comprised of VHS cassettes - a recently obsolescent format. Through the choice of this technology to present and store works EVR broaches topical questions of the musealization, presentation, circulation and marketing of video art.

The project was conceived in 2004 and first presented at 53, Ludlow Street in New York. In the years that followed, it was presented at various locations all over the world, with the inventory of videos continuously increasing with selections made by local curators, artists, and critics. Currently, the project archive comprises over 950 videos.
In 2010 the artists donated the entire video archive to Moderna galerija in Ljubljana.
The project is presented in the ground-floor, it is possible to borrow the tapes.
