Moab Video Project is a year-long curatorial project organized by artist Christy Gast for a TV station in Moab, Utah. Mac21 is now airing one artist's video every week for the year of 2008. The videos are inserted into normal programming, and each video is broadcasted once every hour or so for one week. Due to Moab’s isolation, MAC21 began broadcasting local news via cable in the 1950’s, making it the world’s first cable news network. Today MAC21 functions as a motel information channel, with extremely local programming appealing to tourists as consumers of local culture and landscape. Much of the impetus for this project is inspired by the singularity of the setting, and the mythology of landscape.

We are now curating summer programming (5 minutes or less). Until May 15 contact me by e-mail or send, DVD’s to:
