THE VASULKAS (Steina and Woody Vasulka)

AVANT-GARDE OF ELECTRONIC ART

Prague (CZ): KINO AERO (http://www.kinoaero.cz/) 


The Vasulkas (Steina and Woody Vasulka) count as founding figures of
video art and well-recognized pioneers of electronic art. Woody
(Bohuslav Vasulka) was born 1937 in Brno (Czech Republic), studied
documentary film at the famous Prague FAMU
(http://www.amu.cz/?r_id=610). Steina (Steinunn Briem Bjarnadottir) was
born 1940 in Rejkjavik (Iceland), studied violin, met Woody and married
him in 1964. A year later they are both gone to the U.S. where they
found in 1971, together with Andy Mannick, a legendary The Electronic
Kitchen: "electronic laboratory for experiments in sound and image",
which became one of the most significant art centres in New York City
focusing on electronic arts.
