Toronto Video: Challenging forms, channelling change
The State of The Arts: Living with Culture in Toronto, 2006, pp. 238-245
Toronto: Library and Archives Canada Cataloguing in publication, 2006
The author talks about the history of video art in Toronto, explaining how video art still rarely pays the bills in spite of international recognition and fame of Toronto video makers like Colin Campbell, Lisa Steele, Kim Tomczak, John Greyson, and Steve Reinke. Thanks to places like Trinity Square Video, Vtape and Charles Street Video, Toronto’s video scene has remained congenial.
