Artists who produce archives from their own work approach archival activity as a creative gesture: here, the archive literally becomes a work of art. In parallel with the “archival impulse” that has run through contemporary art since the 1960s, this research project examines the “performative agency” of archives when they are constituted from “image acts”. The selected corpus is based on an extremely singular case, the cinematographic work of Gregory J. Markopoulos (1928-1992) and the Temenos archives.

To date, there is no European-wide history of video art. It is this gap that the present research programme proposes to fill. Firstly by gathering data on the artists, the works and the events that enabled the emergence of this new artistic practice in the 1960s, or that were important in its development in the following years in Europe, and by bringing to light specific national conditions of production and distribution.
EXHIBITIONS
A collaboration with the research project Emergence of Video Art in Europe led by François Bovier, the exhibition Disruptions. Early video Art in Europe focuses on the first steps of video art in Switzerland and its connections with European art movements of the 1970s.
PROJECTION
Focusing on pioneering works produced in Europe (1960-1980), this two-day programme presents a selection of works made with synthesizers or intended for television, often first filmed on 16mm and subsequently transferred to video.
