Videodrome

Welcome to the Videodrome

/m is pleased to announce the launch of VIDEODROME: a custom-built, micro-space for historic artist film and video. The inaugural program showcases, side-by-side, two films by the Cuban-American performance artist Ana Mendieta (1948–85).

The space, which will present both ongoing installations and occasional screenings, was conceived and is curated by Jenny Cawood, /m’s Manager of Artistic Inquiry. It was made possible through a Strategic Impact Grant from the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County.

A New Name, a New Identity

We entered 2023 with a new name: Elizabeth Myers Mitchell Art Museum. By replacing “gallery” with “museum” we celebrate of our longstanding accreditation (since 2012) by the American Alliance of Museums. Our new lettermark, /m, uses the language of subdomains to underscore the museum’s relationship to its host, St. John’s College.
