Kurzbeschreibung

Bart Rutten (1972) is a leading Dutch expert within the field of video art. He studied art and cultural history at the University of Utrecht and at the University of Wisconsin, Madison (USA). Since 1997 he has been working for the Netherlands Media Art Institute, MonteVideo/TBA, where he started by doing research on the collections inherited from the former Time Based Arts, Lijnbaancentrum (Rotterdam) and De Appel (early video art). This research resulted amongst other things in a reference room and tape library at the institute, which was set up by Rutten. In 2002 he became a member of the direction and is now responsible for the presentation section (exhibitions, distribution and collections) at the institute. As lecturer he has worked for the University of Utrecht (history of video art) and is currently working for the Royal Art Academy in The Hague. Rutten also publishes frequently in Dutch periodicals on film and contemporary art. "The Magnetic Era, video art in the Netherlands 1970 - 1985" (Nai publishers), an anthology about early Dutch video art, was published earlier this year. Rutten edited this book together with Jeroen Boomgaard and also contributed to it as a writer.
