So, 'an Exhibit' is a rather fascinating short film from Richard Hamilton, made back in '97 for BBC's Channel 4. It’s interesting because it’s not just a rehash of his earlier work from '57, but more of a reflective piece that delves into the concept of television itself as a medium. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, as it invites you to consider not just the art but how it's presented. The tone feels quite academic yet personal at the same time. It's a unique exploration of sculpture in the context of TV, which makes it distinct among other art-focused films. Definitely a conversation starter among collectors, for sure.
This short film is somewhat obscure and isn’t widely available on mainstream formats, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. Its limited distribution means finding a good copy can be challenging, and its unique exploration of art through the lens of television holds particular interest for those passionate about media studies or Hamilton's work. If you're into niche art films, this one definitely deserves some attention.
