Program Statement

Since its inception in 2018, the Eclectic Dreams video art program has offered a diverse and exciting range of single-channel work from all around the world.

The goal has been to show just how broad and varied the work appearing under the label of ‘video art’ can be, hence the name Eclectic Dreams.

This year, for the third edition of the program, 12 artists from eight countries showcase a variety of ideas, themes and styles, all curated once again by filmmaker and video artist David King.

Of the program, David says: “It always seems that no matter how many new and wonderful works you discover and show, there are always many, many more out there waiting to be seen. It’s like being on a vast beach and being able to pick up just one single grain of sand, and that grain of sand is the program.”
