The history of video, in Southern California and at the Long Beach Museum of Art, is one of exchange (the sharing of technical skills and aesthetic approaches as well as critical and idealistic beliefs) and evolution (the exhibition and chronicling of the development of the medium over a period of twenty-five years). LBMA’s account is historically significant. In 1974, only four years after the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) began in the United States, LBMA launched a program of video art, a radical move by a small museum. This important decision not only brought LBMA into the international contemporary art stream, it also influenced and validated the (then) new medium that remains at the foundation of media art today.
