The Video Exchange
 In conjunction with Intermissions,
the innovative art exhibition and related programs featuring the video
and photographic art of Kansas City artist Barry Anderson, Light Work
is pleased to invite you to a screening of films by students at
Syracuse University and in Kansas City. The same screening will take
place in Kansas City as well, thus creating a connection between the
two schools as part of the Intermissions project. The
exchange builds on a connection that has already been created through
the city-wide video project. The videos represent some of the best work
currently being done in the participating school programs. While the
students will not be meeting in person, they have the opportunity to
see each other's work in either city.
The Syracuse University/Kansas City Student Video Exchange presents student video work by students from Syracuse University, the University of Missouri Kansas City, and the Kansas City Art Institute.
It was curated by Barry Anderson, associate professor of Art at the
University of Missouri Kansas City; and Emily Vey Duke and Cooper
Battersby, assistant professors in the Department of Transmedia,
Syracuse University. Vey Duke will introduce the videos at the Syracuse
screening, while Anderson will introduce them at the Kansas City
screening. The student videos will be shown at Syracuse University on
Tuesday, October 13 at 6pm in Watson Auditorium. They will be shown in
Kansas City at UMKC Gallery of Art on Thursday, October 15 from 7-8pm;
on Friday, October 16 from 9am-2pm; and on Saturday, October 17 from
1-5pm.
The student video exchange received funding from Syracuse
University's Division of Student Affairs through Co-Curricular Funding.
