Pera Museum presented an exhibition titled This is Not a Love Song: Video Art and Pop Music Crossovers which traced the genealogy of the relations between video art and pop music.
The works in the exhibition emphasized the moments from the 1960s to today, in which video art and pop music crossed roads. Curated by Javier Panera, the exhibition included significant works in the history of video art and experimental film that are formally and conceptually related to the iconography of pop and rock.
Featuring 28 prominent artists including Nam June Paik, Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama, Vito Acconci and John Baldessari, the exhibition explored the fields of music and video art in five parts. A diverse video screening program was presented parallel to the exhibition.
Artists: Adel Abidin, Ana Laura Alaez, Hugo Alonso, Charles Atlas, Joseph Beuys, Marc Bijl, Dara Birnbaum, Olaf Breuning, Charley Case, Carles Congost, Cheryl Donegan, Kit Fitzgerald, Jorge Galindo, Jesus Hernandez, Bjorn Melhus, Joan Morey, Cesar Pesquera, Pipilotti Rist, John Sanborn, Santisgo Sierra

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
Between 1963 and 1966 Andy Warhol worked at making film portraits of all sorts of characters linked to New York art circles. Famous people and anonymous people were filmed by Andy Warhol’s 16 mm camera, for almost four minutes, without any instructions other than ‘to get in front of the camera’.
