London Video Arts

London Video Arts (LVA) was established in 1976 by a group of English artists whose aim was to stimulate the production, presentation and distribution of independent video work. To this end, a video library was set up and video exhibitions were organized inside and outside the country. In 1980 the LVA was still operating from an office, but plans were already under way to set up a non-commercial centre for video projects where independent video makers would be able to show and produce their work. On 13 February 1980, De Appel showed the following selection from the LVA collection: David Critchley, Pieces I never did, video work for 3 monitors Stuart Marshall, video-tapes (Invitation De Appel, February 1980.)
