This Show and Tell will examine the work of David Hall, a pioneer of video art in the UK. Hall’s writing, teaching and art explored the implications of the new media and did much to establish a definition of video art. Documentation for specific works, such as photographs, correspondence with galleries, and writings will be included in the display. Additionally, a showreel of films will be screened.
About the Show and Tell Programme
The Show and Tell programme invites visitors to explore highlights from the Library and Archive collections. Previous highlights have included letters, sketchbooks, artists’ books, catalogues, ephemera, photographs, and other special collections.
Each month’s display is curated to a specific theme or collection and includes a guided talk from the Library and Archive team, as well as occasional guest talks and performances. Show and Tell displays provide a unique viewing and handling experience highlighting art and ideas found in the Library and Archive collections.
