Newly published by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Outer & Inner Space, 
a book that explores how video art addresses the interplay between external 
reality and internal states of mind. The installation pieces of three young 
artists - Pipilotti Rist, Shirin Neshat, and Jane & Louise Wilson - are 
explored in reference to other pioneering video artists and to the field of 
art as a whole.  

Each of the three sections spotlights a large piece by one of the three 
featured artists giving importance to the newcomers by comparing them to the 
works of those who preceeded them. Each of the three central works is 
illustrated with color plates and is supplemented by stills of the videos 
and installation images. They are followed by pictures and commentary on the 
works that form the frame for video art.  The book includes essays by Laura 
Cottingham, Eleanor Heartney, Jonathan Knight Crary, and John Ravenal, the 
curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
