“8th Under the Subway Video Art Night” is an event devoted exclusively to video art taking place simultaneously in Valencia (Spain), Kemzeke (Belgium), La Havana (Cuba), Sao Paulo (Brazil) and New York, and will feature the work of 4 Spanish artists.
Since 2011, Under the Subway Video Art Night (USVAN) has welcomed digital art videos of an experimental and performative nature and has brought them to art spaces, galleries, cultural centers or even the streets. USVAN has opened the door to a wide range of disciplines, though interrelated with each other; and has raised awareness that video art is a live art.
A selection of 27 artists out of 350 will be featured simultaneously at the five partner institutions JCC HARLEM (New York), Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània (Valencia, Spain), Verbeke Foundation (Kemzeke, Belgium), Taller Gorria Gallery (Havana, Cuba) and Cervantes Institute (Sao Paulo, Brazil).
