The Shortest Video Art Ever Sold
A project by Marina Galperina and Kyle Chayka – organized by Postmasters

Moving Image Contemporary Video Art Fair
March 7th – 10th , 2013
Waterfront New York Tunnel

The Shortest Video Art Ever Sold is a site-specific physical curatorial project, offering an exclusive “screening” of new art by top net artists in the newest social media format, Vine – a video all of six seconds long. SVAES is presented in a purposely analog/DIY format, a Fair Shopping Network “television program” that will grant the fair goers opportunity to immediately purchase the Vine Edition of 1 and, for an extra fee, have the artist tweet the new artistic acquisition at the patron, so they can have their collecting acknowledged publicly. ! SVAES subverts the insular art market, the Vine brand, the “like economy” of the social media and video art as property/commodity.
