Friday, July 23, 2010
For artists, YouTube is a 21st century canvas. Since the
YouTube Play
project was
announced
last month, more than 6,000 videos ranging in genres, topics and budget have been submitted from 69 countries, and the
YouTube Play channel
has received over 2 million views.
Today, we’re unveiling the jury for YouTube Play, which includes some of the world’s leading artists, from international film festival winners and renowned photographers to performance and video artists on the cutting edge of art.
YouTube Play jurors include musician and performance artist
Laurie Anderson
; musical group
Animal Collective
; visual artists
Douglas Gordon
,
Ryan McGinley
,
Marilyn Minter
and
Takashi Murakami
; artists and filmmakers
Shirin Neshat
,
Apichatpong Weerasethakul
and
Darren Aronofsky
; and graphic designer
Stefan Sagmeister
, with Guggenheim Chief Curator and Deputy Director
Nancy Spector
serving as jury chairperson.
Over the course of the next few months, these jurors will watch countless hours of videos submitted by the international YouTube community and select the most creative and inspiring work to showcase at the Guggenheim museums in October.
Already, this campaign has drawn some remarkable talent, and we’re looking forward to seeing more of your submissions in our quest to find the most creative video art in the world and showcase it alongside van Gogh and Picasso. The deadline for getting your videos in is July 31. For more information about the jurors and to learn more about how to participate, check out
