The International Foundation Manifesta is pleased to announce the opening of e-flux video rental this Friday, March 25, 2005, 6 pm at the Manifesta at Home – its base in Amsterdam. This project will be on view through September, 2005, and is part of the Manifesta at Home ongoing program of lectures, screenings and projects based on and developed by the international network of artists, curators and other art professionals related to Manifesta. The archives of Manifesta are located at the Manifesta at Home space and are accessible to the public. International Foundation Manifesta is the initiator and co-producer of the Manifesta Biennial and is based in Amsterdam.
A project by Anton Vidokle and Julieta Aranda, e-flux video rental (EVR) comprises a free video rental store, a public screening room, and an archive. Its collection, selected in collaboration with a large group of international curators, consists of nearly 500 art films and video works, and is available to the public for home viewing free of charge. Initially started at a storefront located in the Chinatown neighborhood of New York, EVR quickly became an international project, and now operates a branch at KW Institute of Contemporary Art, Berlin; International Manifesta Foundation, Amsterdam; and will shortly open a branch at The Moore Space, Miami. For each of its new locations, EVR will expand its inventory to include new selections by local curators invited jointly with the hosting institutions. A program of talks and special screenings will continue at all the branches. EVR will operate in Amsterdam through the end of September, 2005.
