Real Art Ways will present "Moving Pictures," a gallery exhibition
featuring work by some of the world's most intriguing video artists,
from February through May of 2000. The opening reception, which is free
and open to public, will take place on Sunday, February 27 from 4:30 -
6:30.   For more information call 860.232.1006 or visit
www.realrtways.org.

"Moving Pictures," which is conceived and organized by Real Art Ways
Curator Barry Rosenberg,  is comprised entirely of time-based
installations, both large and small, which explore human relations and
emotions. While some work is confined to monitors, other work is
projected onto walls and incorporated into installations.

Moving Pictures features outstanding practitioners of video-based
artwork. Artists in the show include: Sam Taylor-Wood, Tony Oursler, Amy
Jenkins, Janine Antoni, Paul Ramirez-Jonas, Gary Hill, Raul Cordero,
Jocelyn
Taylor and Peter Sarkisian.

Each of the video and cinema based installations in "Moving Pictures"
earns its power through the presentation of highly emotional content.
Today, the video medium has grown to where it deserves to be curated and
viewed as we do other visual arts media - where content and genre bind
exhibitions.  In "Moving Pictures" the glue that holds these nine
installations together is thematic not technical. Each piece in a unique
fashion explores domesticity and relationships while sculpturally
empowering a defined space.

"Moving Pictures" will run through May 14, 2000.  Hours are Tuesday
through Sunday from 2 to 8 pm.  Admission is free.

Real Art Ways is a nationally acclaimed contemporary arts center
featuring innovative visual art, film, video, performance, music, and
public art projects.  The space is located at 56 Arbor Street in
Hartford, Connecticut and houses a 5, 000 square foot visual arts
gallery, a 155 seat cinema, and a coffee bar.
