Paadmaan Video Event is an international periodical that surveys current video-based forms of art as an expansive, multi-venue event born in Tehran, Iran. This exhibition explores video as a primary, medium specific artform, as well as documentations of recent and emergent works of art including performance, installation, new media and video art in general. Organized by Paadmaan Projects, the Event considers ‘video’ as it’s central theme.
