Pitzer Art Galleries & LACE present Narrowcast: Reframing Global Video 1986/2008 .The exhibition is part of Resolution 3, a collaboration between Pitzer College's Media Studies program, Pitzer Art Galleries and LACE on the occasion of LACE's thirtieth anniversary.

Narrowcast re-presents selected works from LACE's seminal 1986 video exhibition Resolution: A Critique of Video Art and pairs them in compelling and unexpected ways with contemporary works, thus framing the medium's brief history both formally and thematically.

Ten selected artists in Narrowcast—five historical: Lyn Blumenthal, Juan Downey, Antonio Muntadas in collaboration with Marshall Reese, Michael Smith, Bill Viola and five contemporary: Natalie Bookchin, Mark Boulos, Regina José Galindo, Pablo Pijnappel, Artur Zmijewski.
