Abstract

In considering video art presentation in museums, and in particular at the Whitney Museum of American Art, a number of questions and issues are raised. By including video art in the Whitney Biennial Exhibitions, the museum's survey of significant American art made during the previous two years, does the Whitney help bring the medium into comparison with other fine art? Within the museum video is ghettoized by virtue of the limitations of the medium itself.
