Between the Details: Video Art from the ACMI Collection
ACMI's collection has a rich, 75-year history from its inception as the State Film Centre in 1946. Since its incarnation as ACMI in the early 2000s, the collection has expanded to include artworks and experimental film.
ACMI now holds a significant archive of complex, time-based media works and videogames, as well as an ever-expanding repository of digitised content and born-digital material.
This exhibition celebrates ACMI's vibrant collecting and commissioning program, showcasing five moving image artworks by Australian artists. Working in video offers artists the opportunity to use editing as a primary technique; mixing and matching elements from other films, or their own work, to tell new stories.
By remixing or rearranging footage, these five artists build different rhythms and moods, creating hilarious juxtapositions or shedding new light on cultural cliches and presumed histories.
All works featured in this exhibition demonstrate an irrepressible desire to bring deep themes to the surface with humour and an incredible attention to detail.
