A review of a film and video art programme entitled Artists make television, produced for Dutch television. The reviewer discusses in depth the four pieces commissioned for the programme, relating them to works created for Gery Schum's German television programmes, but emphasizing the fact that, unlike Schum's programmes ,Artists make television proposes no unifying theme. Instead, the four commissioned pieces address the issue of television in different ways, using the medium to four very distinct ends. The result is an important and novel contribution contemporary art on television.
