‘The Artist’s Voice’ is scheduled for Thursday, October 15, at 7 p.m., with free admission.
The ICA presents a conversation revisiting the Contemporary Art Television Fund, launched in 1983 through a collaboration between ICA/Boston, WGBH’s New Television Workshop, and artists.
The discussion explores Boston’s role in the history of video art, public broadcasting, and cultural access.
Tony Oursler, identified as a pioneering video artist, will participate in the discussion.
Long before streaming and social media transformed how culture can be experienced, a collaboration in Boston was imagining a new way to bring contemporary art into people’s homes. The program asks, ‘What does access to art look like?’
