アートとテレビ――テレビジョン・アートをめぐる諸相――

抄録

When we look back to the history of video art, its relation to TV has become an important moment.

The word “Television Art” came to be heard in the first half of 1980’s when the relationship between video art and TV have begun to be reconsidered. We are now in postmodern condition which the distinctions between high art and mass culture have become blurred. I think that we are in the time when we can assert TV as art-form, and then video art supports the deconstruction of Arts TV programs and might be deemed avant-garde aesthetic practice on TV.

I consider what Television Art means, making reference to the transition of the relation between the world of TV and the world of Art (especially, video art) from the following issues and historical events:

〇 the idea of “TV-gallery/TV-exhibition” by Gerry Schum;

〇 A brief history of video art in U.S.;

〇 Monitorism and Channel 4 in the history of arts television in Britain;

〇 A international video exhibition “The Arts for Television” (1987–88);

〇 DocArt(Docunentary and Art);
