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. ______________________ Moving Image New York 2013 Participating Artists / Galleries and non-profit institutions Greta Alfaro / Moving Image Presents (New York, NY) Michel Auder / Newman Popiashvili Gallery (New York, NY) Cathy Begien / Winkleman Gallery (New York, NY) Janet Biggs / Winkleman Gallery (New York, NY) Khalil Charif / Artur Fidalgo galeria (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) Kevin Cooley / Kopeikin Gallery (Los Angeles, CA) Sam Curtis / Division of Labour (Worcester, UK) Kota Ezawa / Haines Gallery (San Francisco, CA) Hermine Freed / Video Data Bank (Chicago, IL) Mihai Grecu / Hengesbach Gallery (Berlin, Germany) Malak Helmy / Krowswork (Oakland, CA) Tellervo Kalleinen & Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen / AV Arkki (Helsinki, Finland) Oswaldo Maciá / Nuartlink (Westport, CT) Jennifer and Kevin McCoy / Postmasters (New York, NY) Marko Mäetamm / Temnikova & Kasela Gallery (Tallinn, Estonia) Tang Maohong / ShanghART Gallery (Shanghai, China) Eva and Franco Mattes / Postmasters (New York, NY) Kambui Olujimi / Catharine Clark Gallery (San Francisco, CA) Cheryl Pope / Mark Moore Gallery (Los Angeles, CA) Marinella Senatore / Peres Projects (Berlin, Germany) Anne Spalter / toomer labzda (New York, NY) Rbt.

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.
