About
The tapes in this four part program are united by the question "What is the true meaning of Romance?" which has found new urgency in the work of feminist art and art criticism. Sources as varied as television soap opera, literature for adolescent girls, movie genres like film noir and "weepies," and the gothic novel and its pulp descendants all serve as subtexts for this exhibition's video meditations on Romance.
