VernissageTV Art TV Turns 1000
VernissageTV celebrates its 1000th episode with a 3 day non-stop screening.
Basel, January 19, 2009 - VernissageTV, the Internet TV art project founded in September 2005, just published their 1000th episode. The anniversary video is a typical No-Comment report on an opening. The very first video, published on 9th September 2005, covered the reception for Zaha Hadid's exhibition Projects and Built Work at the Swiss Architecture Museum S AM in Basel. With the 1000th video, VernissageTV comes back to the same museum. The video documents the opening of The World of Madelon Vriesendorp. Madelon Vriesendorp is one of the founding members of the OMA Office for Metropolitan Architecture in 1975 (together with Rem Koolhaas and Elia and Zoe Zenghelis). For the first time ever, the exhibition brings together Madelon Vriesendorp's wildly diverse practices from the past forty years. In its Interview-series, VernissageTV will also publish a conversation between curator Shumon Basar and Madelon Vriesendorp within the next days.
All began with the spontaneous idea of documenting the world of art, design and architecture. Three years later, VernissageTV is a TV art project with up to 25.000 downloads daily and 1000 videos in its archive, thereof 419 interviews and 591 No-Comment videos.
In the extensive video archive of VernissageTV the visitor will find the big names, such as Robert Rauschenberg and Bruce Nauman, but also young stars, including Jonathan Meese or Terence Koh. Artists such as Gerhard Richter and Jeff Koons as well as designers (the Ross Lovegrove, Konstantin Grcic) and architects (Herzog & de Meuron, Le Corbusier); painters such as Daniel Richter as well as Internet and multimedia artists like G.H. Hovagimyan.
To celebrate the 1000th episode, VernissageTV invites to a special screening online and at its new studio in Basel. The screening will show all videos that have been published, starting with the very first one, Zaha Hadid Architecture at the Swiss Architecture Museum. With an average duration of each episode of 5 minutes, the screening will run 3 days. The show will start on Friday, February 6, 2009 at 10 am (CET/MEZ) and run until Monday, February 9, 2009.
The screening will take place at VernissageTV’s new studio Triath and online on VernissageTV’s website www.vernissage.tv. At the studio there will be a reception for invited guests on Saturday, February 7, 2009, 8pm.
