Video Cross Dressing
Afterimage, Mar. 1988, v. 15, no. 8, pp. 3-5
Video cross dressing is defined as "cloaking dominant art discourses in the fashionable clothing of commercial TV language." The article focuses on how more video artists are turning to the TV as subject and object; those who previously rejected TV conventions but now embrace them. Artists who bridge the gap between the popular culture of TV mass media and the elite art industry are at the centre of this discussion.
