BACK

Cleopatra’s and Chris Rice are proud to introduce CKTV, an immersive exhibition of sound, video, and performance featuring karaoke videos created by an expansive roster of artists. The presentation in BAM’s gallery space comes in the form of a looping video installation, in which each work has the opportunity to exist at its most concentrated format, accompanied by a song of the artist’s choice. Accompanying the exhibition will be a one-night event of audience participation karaoke that is open to the public. Previous installments of CKTV took place in the Brooklyn Pavilion at the 2012 Shanghai Biennale and as an evening of performance at the Tandem bar in Bushwick.

The Art of Karaoke

For many, karaoke is little more than a tipsy excuse to belt out Journey lyrics, but for others it’s a carefully honed skill, a craft, a true performance. The New York Times Magazine recently made a case for karaoke as an art form, and this month, BAMart pays tribute to an oft-overlooked—but absolutely key—element of the popular pastime: the karaoke video.
