Excellent video art resource

This a must-have for anyone interested in video art. Chock-full of colour video stills, featuring some of the major artists working in this medium over the past 25 years. Includes Zacharias Kunuk, Colin Campbell, Thirza Cuthand, Kate Craig, Lisa Steele, Robert Morin/Lorraine Dufour, Manon Labrecque, Cathy Sisler, and more. Good editorial introduction from Walker Arts Centre curator Jenny Lion and many fine essays and interviews, some in experimental format.
