Stardusted, video screening event

The M17 Video Archive is a curated collection of contemporary, single-channel video art, maintained by Clark Buckner and housed at Mission 17 in San Francisco. The archive provides an on-going platform for artists and other video producers to exhibit their work, and a way for Bay Area audiences to access videos from throughout the world. Visitors to the gallery are invited to watch videos from the collection “on-demand.” Mission 17 maintains a program of works drawn from the archive, which are presented in conjunction with the gallerys regular exhibitions. Buckner draws from the archive to curate screenings at other outlets. Mission 17 is a San Francisco based, none profit center for visual culture, which exhibits and supports the work of emerging and mid-career artists, with its particular emphasis is on experimental art forms and the opportunities they present for social and psychological reflection.

Curated by director of Mission 17 Clark Buckner, “Stardusted” is a video screening event taking place during the second part of the Cantocore exhibition. The event features experimental video art work from 11 California based artists, followed by audience discussion.

星尘，录像展映项目

The M17影像档案注重对当代单频录像艺术的收集，由Clark Buckner管理，此录像档案目前存于美国旧金山Misson 17艺术空间内。这个影像档案给艺术家与其他影像制作人提供了一个持续展示他们作品的平台，同时它也给美国加州湾区观众提供了接触来自世界各地影像作品的通道。艺术中心的访问者可从收藏中选择观看影像，Misson 17也从档案中挑选作品，主持与空间展览配合的放映活动，策展人Clark Buckner也使用档案资源在其它展览空间策划展映活动。Misson 17是一个非牟利性视觉文化中心，这里展示并支持从新进到成名艺术家的艺术创作，着重于实验性艺术形式以及这些形式给社会和心理折射带来的机会。

由Mission 17主持人Clark Buckner策划的“星尘”是“硬核广州”展览期间举行的录像展映项目，这个活动展示了来自美国加州地区的11名艺术家的录像作品，并附有观众讨论环节。
