DESCRIPTION:
He studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths and has a PhD from the Royal College of Art. Chris Meigh-Andrews is Professor of Electronic & Digital Art and Director of the Electronic and Digital Art Unit at the University of Central Lancashire. His most recently completed work, The Monument Project (2009-2011) which produces a continuously updated time-lapse panoramic view from the top of the Monument
Tracking the changing forms of video art in relation to the revolution in electronic and digital imaging that has taken place during the last 50 years, A History of Video Art orients video art in the wider art historical context, with particular reference to the shift from the structuralism of the late 1960s and early 1970s to the post-modernist concerns of the 1980s and early 1990s. In addition, the new edition expands and updates the discussion of theoretical concepts and ideas which underpin contemporary artists' video. A History of Video Art is a revised and expanded edition of the 2006 original, which extends the scope of the first edition, incorporating a wider range of artists and works from across the globe and explores and examines developments in the genre of artists' video from the mid 1990s

I would recommend this in tandem with Illuminated Video. If you (or your students) have access to the Video Data Bank "Surveying the First Decade," this book is a great compliment to many of the videos featured in this collection. -- Professor Stephen Partridge, artist and Principal Investigato
