Although video has become a much more common sight in art galleries and museums, it is still in many ways an emerging artform that is not fully appreciated or understood.  With Video Art 101, the Chicago Art Department uses the frame of an art exhibition to teach basic video art concepts.  What is unique about the medium of video?  How is it different from other media?  What are some of the possibilities offered by video? What are some of the basic techniques?  What are some of the tools and how are they used? These are some of the questions that this exhibit will try to help answer.  It's an intro video art class masquerading as an art exhibition.

Video Art 101 draws from over a decade of work from artists within the greater Chicago Art Department community.   Artists include: Nathan Peck, Seth Gershberg, Nat Soti, Ryan Clark, Edyta Stepien, Chuck Przybyl, Mike Nourse, Rooms Productions, Jesikah Reuhle, Galina Schevchenko, and many more.

New CAD resident artist and co-founder of mfchicago, a music, video and street art collective, will exhibit a collection of his video work and still photographic captures derived from his VJ experience from 2004-2009. The show titled "Capturing Motion" will be held from 6-10 PM on Friday, July 10th at the Chicago Art Department.

A VJ is a performance artist that manipulates video as an art form. Typically, VJ's mix video live and in conjunction with electronic music at clubs, festivals and "illegal" underground parties called "raves". Seth's VJ work combines video found in the public domain, samples of uncommon film footage and video he shoots of objects and subjects of interest.
