Out of Openness collection debuts at the Art Festival at Hay


'Out of Openness', a capsule collection of 65 individual video paintings, has debuted at this years' Art Festival at Hay.

The collection depicts the chornology of the video painting from its inception in 2001, however the exhibition is freed from a strict sequence. If played in an order, 'Out of Openness' would last nine hours thirty four minutes. However, the collection embodies its title and could continue indefinitely, with multiple narratives.

Featuring work from artists associated with the Artscape Project - pioneers of the video painting - the exhibition includes works from Alex Bettler, Isabelle Inghilleri, Sanchita Islam, Hilary Lawson and Alys Williams.

The 'Out of Openness' collection previewed at the Art Festival at Hay this year alongside works from the ICA, Flowers and Whitechapel galleries. It will be shown in London this winter with information coming shortly.
