As their title indicates, these encounters are open, in order to encompass all tendencies and authors, an attitude demanded by video art itself. We believe that the best explanation of the need for this spirit, and of the scope of the medium, was formulated in February 1977, during the Barcelona Encounter, by Katsuhiro Yamaguchi, one of the most important creators of Japanese video art and one of the 33 participants in CAYC's Japan Video Art Festival.

Istraţivanje posleratnih avangardnih pokreta u Japanu se odvija kroz analizu i kritiĉku interpretaciju aktuelne literature i primarnih izvora. Istraţivanje ima u vidu širi socijalni kontekst u kome su avangardni pokreti nastali i njihovo pozicioniranje u okviru internacionalne umetniĉke scene. Ni u svetskoj, a pogotovo u ovdašnjoj struĉnoj javnosti, navedenim temama nije bila posvećena odgovarajuća paţnja. Otuda se nameće utisak da bi - osim onih ciljeva koji proistiĉu iz same koncepcije ovako zamišljenog rada - disertacija na temu ‖Umetnost i društvo u previranju - japanska avangarda 60-tih i 70-tih godina XX veka‖ mogla odigrati izvesnu ulogu u popunjavanju postojeće praznine.

    Click the poster for more information The exhibition assembles key protagonists that initiated experiments with the medium of video originating from Japan, South Korea and China. They were born from 1928 to 1965, and were active on the eve of globalization and flourished in the new century with the rapid development of Internet technology. When we head toward the end of 2020, looking back on the early video art practice in East Asia, "contemporary" is now history. Katsuhiro Yamaguchi 1928-2018, Tokyo, Japan Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1928, Katsuhiro Yamaguchi created over 30 major video installations since 1974. A prolific artist and educator, he began his career establishing the pioneering art group Jikken Kôbô (Experimental Workshop) 1951-1958. Yamaguchi experimented in the field of ‘art and technology’ and ‘electronic arts’, and in 1971 founded the highly influential artist collective Video Hiroba. In 1977, he founded Sogô zôkei (Visual arts and mixed media) department in University of Tsukuba. He travelled to Europe and the United States for short tours, was a colleague of Yoko Ono and had contact with the fluxus art movement. His first sculptures in the 1950s, utilising transparent textured glass angled to provoke movement known as the ‘Vitrine’ series preceded his moving image experiments and installations. His interactive CCTV performances and installations experiments began in 1972 using the Sony Portapak in public places and galleries. In 1975 his work was awarded the leading prize at the San Paolo Biennale for his interactive CCTV video installation Las Meninas 1974-75. Katsuhiro Yamaguchi exhibited extensively throughout his career both nationally and internationally.
