Every once in a while, I like to share outstanding websites I come across in my art-web travels. Recently, I discovered ArtBabble.org, a website dedicated to spreading the word of art through video. Launched by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Art Babble showcases video art content in high quality format from a variety of sources and perspectives.
Currently, Art Babble partners with Art 21, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, MOMA, The MET, San Francisco MOMA, Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Van Gogh Museum, the New York Public Library and others to provide videos on a wide range of topics (aka channels). Browse by Series, Channel, or Artist.
In the short video below, Jenny Holzer discusses the programming of her LED sculptures during the installation of the exhibition PROTECT PROTECT at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Check out this great resource yourself at Art Babble.org
Hi There!
I’m an intern at the IMA this summer and was so glad to see you have discovered ArtBabble! It’s such a great resource. Just so you know, there is going to be a second ArtBabble launch later this month (July 28) when the IMA is announcing new partners for the site, which means there is going to be even more content available! Keep your eyes open for new stuff coming soon, and thanks for mentioning us! Glad you like the site!
Thanks for letting me know Margaret – I’ll be sure to check it out!
thank you for sharing this site… it is a gem. To not just see, but hear the words of works for some wonderful inspiring artists.
thanks again
