Landmarks Video 2020 - 2021 Season

Landmarks Video presents the most highly regarded and influential works of video art from the past six decades. Each month, the work of one artist is featured in the ART building atrium, located on the corner of East 23rd Street and San Jacinto Boulevard. 

Covid-19 Update: For the safety of our community, Landmarks Video may be viewed freely by those who have BACS access to the Art Building. For general access, please make a visit during the Visual Arts Center's open hours. 

Due to restricted access to the Art Building this summer, David Ellis' Animal will be shown from June through August. Videos by Michael Robinson, Michael Snow, and Luis Valdovino, originally slated to run this summer, will be shown during the 2021-2022 season of Landmarks Video. 

Please note that some videos may not be appropriate for all audiences.
