hi all, this event "Artists using YouTube", by curator Rachel Greene
will take place at The Kitchen in New York on May 13:

"Internet video site YouTube needs no introduction. Its status as
both a branded channel and a medium in its own right has redefined
“new media” on both sides of the art and corporate entertainment
divide. But most of its content resides somewhere in between, and its
currency lies in the vernacular nature of the items posted there–to
the extent that the memes incubated on YouTube are trickling down
into the language of contemporary artists’ work and, in turn, re-
emerging on the site. This is the feeding cycle that has long defined
pop art, and on May 13th, three artists will make their YouTube
consumption conspicuous in an event at The Kitchen, the New York-
based organization famous for supporting risk-taking media and
performance work. “Artists Using YouTube” is organized by curator and
critic Rachel Greene and will feature artists Sue de Beer, Matthew
Higgs, and Matthew Ronay–each of whom is well-known for incorporating
mainstream cultural phenomena into their work–presenting their
favorite YouTube clips, whether they’ve been a source of influence or
productive distraction." - Marisa Olson
