Los intersticios televisados como soporte para la práctica artística en vídeo: Orígenes y retos en su exhibición actual

Abstract

Since the late 1960s, a unique and sporadic collaboration emerged between television networks and visual artists, giving rise to an unprecedented dynamic. This collaboration created a conducive environment for crafting short audiovisual pieces seamlessly integrated into television programming. These works, strategically placed within the gaps of television, spawned a novel artistic phenomenon challenging the norms of physical objects dictated by the art market. Their replication proved elusive in the subsequent decades. This research aims to spotlight these television-transmitted artistic practices, capable of subverting exhibition norms by unexpectedly introducing art into the viewer's home. Furthermore, the study will delve into their impact and continuity within the television realm, while addressing the contemporary challenges these pieces encounter when exhibited in museum settings.
