Additional Informations
"The participatory video time-delay artwork Videvent ('75) came out of Hoey's research with the computer department at the Slade School of Art. He and Wendy Brown collaborated on various video artworks, and as Artists in Residence they initiated and ran the yearly Biddick Farm Arts Centre Shows in Tyne and Wear from '76-'80, which positioned British works alongside contemporary international video art. Hoey was one of the founding members of LVA." - J.Hatfield (Source, website, Rewind)
"A piece like Brian Hoey's Videvent, places in the main entrance of Third Eye with people wandering in from Sauchiehall Street, riding bicycles and doing handstands in front of it, made so much more sense than setting it up in a straight gallery environment, and this is true of all installation pieces."
