The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), University of Pennsylvania presents Open Video Call 2020 with Lino Kino. Each year ICA provides a platform for Philadelphia-area artists to share new work through our juried screening series known as Open Video Call (OVC). For the 21st edition of OVC we invited local media arts collective Lino Kino to curate the program. Videos by eight artists have been selected this year. A different artist will be featured on Mondays at 12PM, followed by a conversation between the artist and members of Lino Kino on Wednesdays at 6PM discussing the selected video. Each program can be accessed via a dedicated Zoom link on ICA’s website. The program begins July 27, 2020 and runs through September 16, 2020. Live captioning will be provided for all programs.

About the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania
The Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania is a non-collecting institution presenting exhibitions at the forefront of contemporary practice and culture that challenge audiences to think in new ways. The ICA is free for all to engage and connect with the art of our time. Since its founding in 1963, ICA has served as a laboratory for the new, introducing and supporting the production of urgent and important contemporary art, beginning with ICA’s inaugural show of paintings by Abstract Expressionist Clyfford Still, followed by the first museum show of works by Andy Warhol in 1965. Throughout its history, ICA has been instrumental in identifying and developing many promising artists before they attained prominence within the international art world, some of whom include—in addition to Warhol—Richard Artschwager, Vija Celmins, Alex Da Corte, Karen Kilimnik, Barry Le Va, Glenn Ligon, Robert Mapplethorpe, Agnes Martin, Rodney McMillian, Pepón Osorio, Cauleen Smith, and Charline von Heyl.
