(Cross-posted from the YouTube Blog)
The Guggenheim has spoken: the shortlist for YouTube Play. A Biennial
of Creative Video is now going in front of the jury, and is available
to view at youtube.com/play.
Itâs been a busy summer. More than 23,000 videos, from 91 countries
across the world, were submitted for YouTube Play, and the Guggenheim
has picked 125 to make up the shortlist.
In there youâll find submissions from students, video artists,
photographers, filmmakers, composers, video game programmers, an
American Womenâs Chess Champion, a comedy improv group, a Swedish
rock band, a South African hip-hop group, an Australian electronic
music producerâand a lot more.
Itâs now down to the YouTube Play jury to pick up to 20 videos for a
special presentation at the Guggenheim Museum on October 21. Here is
one of the jurors, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, to explain why he
thinks YouTube is important in the art world today:
The videos selected by the jury will be on view to the public from
October 22 through 24 in the Tower 2 Gallery of the Guggenheim Museum
in New York, at kiosks at the Guggenheim Museums in Bilbao, Berlin and
Venice, and available to a worldwide audience on the YouTube Play
channel.
