Italian Video Art History Explored Through Recent Publications
A new examination of video art in Italy highlights its evolution through the publication 'Rewind/Italia: Early Video Art in Italy,' edited by Laura Leuzzi and Stephen Partridge in 2016. This anthology emerged from extensive research conducted by the University of Dundee's Arts & Humanities Research Council, initiated in 2007. It includes insights from pioneering artists and academic voices, focusing on urban video practices in cities such as Ferrara, Florence, Venice, and Rome. Additionally, works like 'Michele Sambin. Performance tra musica, pittura e video' in 2014, and 'Videoarte/a/Palazzo/dei/Diamanti/1973-1979/Reenactment' from 2015 further explore this artistic genre.
