VIDEO/NEW MEDIA PROJECT FROM THE PAN Kunstforum Niederrhein,
EMMERICH ON THE RHINE, GERMANY

Euroscreen21 is a European media-art project in which digital video shorts by forty artists from thirty European countries will be presented at the newly opened PAN Kunstforum Niederrhein.
Each video is about a minute long. The genres range over Video, New Media, Documentary, Experimental, Animation, etc., while, geographically, the invited artists are from Europe; and thematically, the works articulate their personal perspective on the concept of 'home'.

The Private View is on Saturday, 20th July 2003, at 12 noon
