DREAM LIGHT
Selections from the PAMM Video Art Collection
25 February – 29 March 2016

Over the course of five weeks, PAMM will screen a series of single-channel video artworks in the museum’s auditorium, presenting one video per week on a continuous loop during open hours. The selected works share nonlinear narratives and surrealistic imagery, displaying effects that range from the ethereal to the phantasmagoric. In evoking the act of dreaming, each video underscores how artists have used moving pictures as an experimental means with which to probe subjectivity and explore the intricacies of psychological experience. The series serves to highlight the importance of time-based media within the context of PAMM’s growing collection.
