"old habits die hard"


Old Habits Die Hard, Fifty artist-run spaces and artist's networks were invited by the organizers, to submit what they considered the best video art work they have encountered, 'their favorite video work'. The Old Habits Die Hard locates and maps international artist's collectives and networks operating today. This collection-based project presents cultural territories formed by expanded artistic practices, territories that surface as alternatives to mainstream exhibition and distribution channels.
Old Habits Die Hard is organized in nine video programs that each feature between three to ten videos and run for approximately one hour. The video programs will be screened at Trafo during a two-week period. The catalog materials of Old Habits Die Hard is also available at the homepage www.oldhabitsdiehard.org
