(Watchin') video art - there in the gallery
Video art - right there on a tv
Video art - it’s there in your cv
Boring me right out of my brain

The focus is blurry
The close-ups are wobbly
The editing is ghastly
Looping projections
Banal confessions
For 30 minutes sessions

(Makin') video art - for your art degree
Video art - painting’s refugee
Video art - the museum’s abductee
Boring me right outa my brain

Dan and Rodney Graham
Jane and Louise Wilson
And Pipilotti Rist
Nauman, Wegman, Noonan
Aitken, Wearing, Gordon
And Sam Taylor-Wood

(Watchin’) video art - yawning technicolour
Video art - no remote controller
Video art - another Bill Viola
Boring me right outa my brain

The message as medium
Guaranteed tedium
Curator’s idiom
Minimal and grey
In a post-minimal way
Without a screenplay
