FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 27, 2013
Moving Image, the contemporary video art fair, is very pleased to announce the artists and participating galleries and non-profit institutions in our third New York edition, as well as our line-up of special projects and panel discussions. Returning to the Waterfront Tunnel in the Chelsea district of Manhattan, March 7-10, 2013, with an international selection of single-channel videos and installations from Europe, Asia, South America, and North America, Moving Image has been conceived to offer a viewing experience with the excitement and vitality of a fair, while allowing moving-image-based artworks to be understood and appreciated on their own terms.

Highlights of the 2013 New York fair include historical works by highly influential pioneers of video and filmmaking, including Hermine Freed (Video Data Bank, Chicago, IL), Tommy Turner (PPOW, New York, NY), and Michel Auder (Newman Popiashvili Gallery, New York, NY). Among the newly expanded installation section this year are works by Jan Tichy (Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago, IL / New York, NY), Jennifer and Kevin McCoy (Postmasters, New York, NY), and Ted Victoria (Schroeder Romero, New York, NY). New works at the fair include those by Marinella Senatore (Peres Projects, Berlin, Germany), Bryan Zanisnik (Aspect Ratio, Chicago, IL), and Edin Vélez (presented by El Museo del Barrio, New York, NY).
And making their world debuts at Moving Image are Nina Yuen's film Andoe, about the painter Joe Andoe, who discovered late in his career that every one of his paintings depicted a single memory from his youth (presented by Lombard Freid Gallery, New York), and Rbt. Sps.'s installation, Selections from This New Sitcom, (presented by Interstate Projects, Brooklyn, NY), which includes a video sketchbook that captures small, eclectic snippets of his rural and solitary Southern reality.

The Shortest Video Art Ever Sold
A project by Marina Galperina and Kyle Chayka - organized by Postmasters
The Shortest Video Art Ever Sold is a site-specific physical curatorial project, offering an exclusive "screening" of new art by top net artists in the newest social media format, Vine - a video all of six seconds long. SVAES is presented in a purposely analog/DIY format, a Fair Shopping Network "television program" that will grant the fair goers opportunity to immediately purchase the Vine Edition of 1 and, for an extra fee, have the artist tweet the new artistic acquisition at the patron, so they can have their collecting acknowledged publicly. ! SVAES subverts the insular art market, the Vine brand, the "like economy" of the social media and video art as property/commodity.
Marina Galperina is the Art Editor of ANIMALNewYork, and a Brooklyn-based freelance journalist, specializing in Russian internet phenomena, conceptual vandalism and net art.
Kyle Chayka is senior editor at renowned art blog Hyperallergic.com and a freelance culture and technology writer based in Brooklyn. He is a participant of and spectator on various events and exhibitions in New York and elsewhere. ______
