A collaboration with the research project Emergence of Video Art in Europe led by François Bovier, the exhibition Disruptions. Early video Art in Europe focuses on the first steps of video art in Switzerland and its connections with European art movements of the 1970s.
In two successive chapters, the exhibition shows how this medium transformed the visual arts of the time. Video became a tool of experimentation and innovation, used to create performances, reflect on questions of identity, criticize television and design art installations. Disruptions presents a diversity of practices, then shows the evolution of video art through the manipulation of the audio-visual signal to produce new images. Works from the FMAC's video collection are exhibited alongside European creations, offering a rich dialogue between similarities, differences, influences or simple coincidences.
