England. . Brighton. 6/20/21. Harvey Daniels directs the printmaking program at Brighton Polytechnic, where sculpture, printmaking, and painting comprise the fine arts program. This videotape recording was made in the courtyard of their home on a sunny Sunday afternoon, and Harvey answers some questions about the program at Brighton respective to new technologies and art.
The administrating faculty of some art schools have attitudes about new technologies and art requiring that activity achieve pre-determined norms of acceptance before these can be acknowledged to compare and fit with institutional criteria. This gives the impression that such a school will experiment with new technologies after public acceptance is assured. 16:00 Min. SA830620

England. . Brighton. 6/21/83. This is the last recording made in a European School's printmaking facility. It shows the lithography and screen-printing equipment, and students' works in progress on the walls. At the time this recording was made, students were preparing their annual exhibitions of art in another part of the building.
All printmaking studios look somewhat alike on the surface, and the ones located in art schools especially so. 3:00 Min. SA830621

England. . London. 6/22/83. The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in London consists of several departments, including a Videotheque. Here, a visitor may request a videotape from its holdings (or an audiotape, or a videotape recording of a film). For about fifty cents, one may watch it in the semi-privacy of the screening room. In this videotape recording, Alex Graham, director of the facility, explains a point about funding structure.
Centers for contemporary art are popping up around the world - especially in Europe, Canada, and the United States. Most of them include media programs where the needs of aural communications about contemporary issues can be met as well as the visual arts themselves. 31:00 Min. SA830622
