>50% Beeld: In dialogue with Nan Hoover
28-08-2001
In the exhibition DIALOGUE, works by Nan Hoover, the Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Arts demonstrates the diversity of Nan Hoover's oeuvre. Nan Hoover (US, 1931) has always been searching for the best form for expressing her ideas. Therefore she is willing to change media, and has not shied away from endless technical experimentation. Nearly fifty years of art practice has not diminished her ambition; on the contrary, right down to this day she refuses to let anything stand in the way of her continuing to work on her large and varied oeuvre.
