Art of Fact Video Exhibition: 
Video Art and Community Television

The Art of Fact Video Exhibition is the long overdue reuniting of two 
important streams in Canadian cultural arts – video art and community television.   
This ICTV Independent Community Television Co-operative exhibition, with 
support from the Canada Council and Video In, broadcasts on the community channel, 
cable 4, at midnight every Friday beginning September 10 until October 29.  
Join us at the opening forum and social.   More at www.vcn.bc.ca/ictv.

           Randy Lee Cutler, France Queyras and Jayce Salloum,

“Video artists need distribution and audiences, and community television 
lacks aesthetic sophistication,” says michael lithgow, Curator of the Art of Fact 
Video Exhibition.   “My hope is that this Exhibition is a first step towards 
reuniting these voices into a uniquely Canadian form of participatory mass 
communication…”

Community programming has traditionally focussed on local politics, community 
events and talking heads.   Video artists have tended toward self-expression 
and a self-conscious exploration of how video mediates communication.   Both 
share a search for independent voice.   This Exhibition is an attempt to 
explore where one becomes the other, where video art becomes community journalism 
and vice versa.
