ikonoTV (2013–2017)

ikono.art

Between 2013–2017 I curated monthly selections of video works on ikonoTV, collaborating with several artists, guest curators and institutions worldwide.

ikonoTV is an experimental television channel broadcasting non-narrative art 24/7 via SmartTV, satellite and web streaming. Since 2010, ikonoTV creates on-air curated exhibitions of art films, by working in close collaboration with artists, collections, image archives and museums worldwide. By showing art free of any additional commentary and sound, ikonoTV allows an international audience to experience the moving image beyond any linguistic barrier, as a pure form of narration, and it reinforces the idea of art as a universal and timeless language.
