A Full Listing of the Artists in California Video with Links

I got the press release for California Video in the E-mail the other day, and I realized that there’s no place on the Getty’s website or the web (that my searching and googling could find) that gives a full listing of all of the artists in California Video. So I figured I’d compile handy dandy links for all of them. Here’s either me totally shilling for the Getty, or just being a fanboy, take your pick. Regardless of my shillitude, if there’s any show that I’m looking forward to in Los Angeles (if not nationally) in 2008 it has to be this one – there’s just too much potential in it.

Obviously, there’s a mix of link types below, and even the cursory look that I’ve given to all of them is interesting and telling. It’s been kind of fun to look at all of these artists, many of whom are either totally new to me, or folks whom I know only vaguely. They range from the super-pro websites of art titans like Bill Viola and John Baldessari, to the Blogspot blogs of Alan Ackoff and Target Video. There are some Wikipedia pages for folks like Bruce Nauman, and some of the sites aren’t as helpful as they could be.
