Frankly, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not your typical video store. Far from it! In fact, <\/span>Under New Management<\/em> is a virtual entertainment funhouse allowing you to pay-what-you-wish. <\/span>We have many rare titles and a unique rental policy!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Under New Management: Video Store<\/strong><\/em> exhibition takes the form of a video rental store that carries artists\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 videos. The project employs the characteristics of the retail environment to connect to the local community while, challenging the gallery\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s role as an intermediary that delimits the viewer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s direct access to art. Video titles in stock are artists\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 works procured through an open call for submissions. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Customers\u00e2\u20ac\u009d are asked to pay what they wish, which can be interpreted as cash, a non-monetary exchange, critique, or no remuneration. This facet is in place as an experimental form of engagement, where artists have the opportunity to receive responses directly from viewers. In turn, the viewer has an uncommon channel to the artist. In addition to payment, rental and return are also on an honour-system basis to remove barriers that exist due to membership requirements, deposits, and return policies at commercial ventures.<\/p>\n

Boundaries are blurred and expectations subverted through a presentation model that proposes a hybrid between the gallery context and the broader public sphere. Currently, we are on the cusp of the dematerialization of the video rental business. Large corporate chains and family run businesses share in the same fate. The most unfortunate loss is that of the local independent operation that carried rare titles, cult favorites, documentaries, experimental films, and hard to find foreign titles.\u00c2\u00a0Under New Management: Video Store<\/em> provides audiences with the opportunity to view content that is not produced strictly by Hollywood with blockbuster aspirations.<\/p>\n

All good things must come to an end. Unfortunately the trend of vanishing family-owned establishments is not just affecting the mom & pop shops that conveniently distribute videos and stale popcorn, but even the bigger institutions fall. Honest Ed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is on the chopping block to be sold to the highest real estate bidder. In wake of this current news, Lena Suksi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s bright hand-painted video store signage too will soon become a nostalgic part of our recent past.<\/p>\n

Our dvd collection boasts over 200 titles including a cross-section of documentaries, experimental, drama, science fiction, comedy, and horror. We also have a growing collection of VHS tapes! Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t miss out. Rent today!<\/p>\n
