Two editions of the Visual Music Marathon - 2007 (Boston, sponsored by Northeastern University) and 2009 ( New York City, coproduced by Northeastern and The School of Visual Arts) featured over 100 films, both analog and digital, dealing in various ways with the subject. Neither got much media coverage covered (other than a nice review in AWN). The (still existent) web site was built using Flash: http://www.music.neu.edu/vmm/
Review is here: https://www.awn.com/animationworld/visual-music-marathon-musical-fine-art-animation-benchmark.
Hope that helps.

I saw a wonderful big survey of video art in Tokyo in 2009, Waiting for Video: Works From the 1960s to Today, National Museum of Modern Art at the top of the Mori Tower, I think. It included canonical Western and less-known, but comparable Asian work.

> Hi Ben, off the top of my head, here are some other shows that come to mind: my own ‘Signs of the Times: Film, Video and Slide Tape in British Art in the 1980s’ (1990), and ‘Scream and Scream Again: Film in Art’ (1996), both group survey shows of the moving image that I curated at the Museum of Modern Art Oxford, U.K. A few others include: ‘Celluloid’ and ‘Found Footage: Cinema Exposed’ (2012), both at the Eye Film Museum, Amsterdam (2016), ‘Hall of Mirrors: Art and Film since 1945’ (1996), and ‘Visual Music’ (2005) both curated by Kerry Brougher at LA MOCA, ‘The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving Image’ at the Hirshhorn museum, Washington, also curated by Kerry Brougher (2008), ‘Monter/Sampler’ at the Pompidou Center, Paris (2000), ‘X-Screen’ at Mumok in Vienna (2003), ‘Beyond Cinema: The Art of Projection’ at the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, curated by Stan Douglas and Christopher Eamon (2006), ‘Seeing Time’ at SF MOMA (2000), ‘The Dissolve’ at Site Santa Fe, curated by Sarah Lewis and Daniel Belasco (2010), ‘Electronic Superhighway’ at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, curated by Omar Kholeif (2016). There have also been a number of shows curated at ZKM Karlsruhe addressing the moving image in different ways, and some other historical shows include Wolf Herzogenrath’s ‘Video Skuptur: Retrospektiv und Aktuell 1963-1989’ show at the Cologne Kunstverein (1989) and ‘Projected Images’ curated by Martin Friedman at the Walker Art Center (1974), and John Hanhardt’s group show of film installations at the Whitney in 1979, as well as, of course, Jonas Mekas’s Expanded Cinema Festival at the Cinematheque in New York (1966). There are numerous books of course, including catalogues for the above shows; one comes to mind that I think might be helpful for your research: ‘OEI: On Film’, in Swedish and English, mapping out film in Sweden, with extensive analyses of experimental filmmakers’ processes. It’s a beautiful book that might not be so well known but would help your research I think.

> To Chrissie’s impressive list I’d add Pompidou’s Le Mouvement des Images (2006-7) that found parallels in works from the Seventh Art with strategies and concerns in the other (modern/contemporary) arts. It included a fair number of (proper) experimental filmmakers (e.g., Brakhage, Rose Lowder) alongside gallery folks like Rodney Graham. An outline of the show (without a ton of details about individual works) can be found here: https://www.centrepompidou.fr/cpv/resource/cn6eXo/r8K9ao
