PodART
Homage to iPod
Fine Art in Space is pleased to present, in collaboration with 31 GRAND, PodART, the first group exhibition of video art intended to be viewed and sold solely on the iPod. This curatorial exploration was inspired by the introduction of the latest iPod, which now plays video. In recent years, Video art has been growing rapidly in popularity. Their ongoing introduction of more technologically advanced products has resulted in the acceptance and accessibility of this media. Apple's latest achievements with the iPod have garnered this art form even more portability.
Artists featured in PodART will include the work of: Gogol Bordello, Jason Clay Lewis, Nelson Loskamp, MTAA, Marisa Olson, Eugenio Percossi, Jean Pigozzi, Adam Stennett, Lee Walton, and Jeff Wyckoff.
