ART FRANKFURT
2002

Art Media Center "TV Gallery" began its activities in 1990 as a TV program and was the first to represent exhibitions and actual art projects on Russian TV. From 1991 the Center got the opportunity to make independent art actions connected with new technologies at its own exposition venue. Therefore, the appearance and development of video/media art in Russia has got a direct connection with Art Media Center's work.

At present the Center organizes and presents multimedia exhibitions, makes shootings and produces TV programs, participates in international and home video festivals, makes video films, collects archives.

Presenting the Center's video archives, we would like to emphasize that this independently working department of the Center uses a well-equipped technical base, which makes the work with its "documents" very fruitful.
