About Us
In an effort to promote explorations into the tangible boundaries of the moving image the Metro Gallery presents Videopolis, a video installation exhibition with limited selected performances. Held across the street from the Charles Theater during the Maryland Film Festival, we hope to feature work that doesn’t make more traditional festival formats. Videopolis hopes to juxtapose various forms of film and video, along with other mediums that comment upon or investigate the moving image, together in a relaxed environment for the enjoyment of artists, festival-goers and random passers-by. With people on all sides of the lens exploring how different disciplines may work together the results are expected to be innovative and entertaining. To encourage creative interaction amongst as many people as possible the entire process will be without fees. This year May 3rd and 4th, 2012, the Videopolis video installation exhibition will open with performances in the evenings, and run through the rest of the month of May.
Videopolis is a not-for-profit enterprise between a volunteer staff of co-curators and the Metro Gallery in Baltimore, MD. We are generally filmmakers and artists as well, and just want to enjoy the whole thing. If you want to contact us you can at film@themetrogallery.net
