The PMCA Video Department is the electronic continuation of the Pitcairn Museum for Contemporary Art (PMCA). Between 2020 and 2025, the museum realized thirty-four exhibitions in a wooden scale model that could be viewed from the street. It opened with a presentation by Rachel de Joode (Berlin) and concluded with an exhibition by Ian Fisher (Los Angeles) in 2025. That public visibility is carried forward by the Video Department, but in a different form. No longer a scale model, but an electronic window onto the city – dedicated to international video and time-based experimental art. Passersby are unexpectedly invited to pause, to watch, to listen – and at times to be taken out of their daily rhythm, to wonder or to reflect. The interaction with the street forms the heart of the program. The works are short and engaging, designed to enter into a direct dialogue with the passerby. In addition to solo presentations, the Video Department will host guest curators, collaborations, and timely interventions that further explore the dynamic between art and public space
