Kinomuseum Towards an Artists' Cinema. Book published in Germany by

In their responses to artists' film and video, cinema and the museum  
are in crisis. At the same time, the number of artists working with  
moving images continues to rise, while artists_ film and video often  
wilfully occupies the gap between a homogenised cinema and the  
fossilising museum. This anthology continues the discussion sparked  
off by the "Kinomuseum" film programme with essays and texts by many  
of those involved, including some of the most influential curators  
and artists involved with the contemporary moving image, as well as
