Alex Bag, first tape

Video artist ALEX BAG got her start producing videos for public access television. After getting kicked off the airwaves (twice), she found her distribution home among the art galleries, where she's been making her living lampooning the very world that accepts her.

Her first tape, and only one available for viewing, is from 1995, and includes BAG's signature one-woman performances, incuding the evolution of an SVA student. It's worth watching all the way through. I especially love the "Seudehead" segment.

Concerning distribution and exhibition, it's my belief that BAG's anarchist art world vision is being subsumed by the art world itself. ALEX: Break free and distribute your own work, either online or by DVD. You have an audience waiting for you when you do.
