How, when, and why did V tape come into being?
V tape was formed in 1980 by a group of five artists (Steele, Campbell, Rodney Werden, Susan Britton, and Clive Robertson) who withdrew their work from distribution with Art Metropole, a Toronto video and artists’ multiples’ distributor, and began to operate as a collective. We printed a small catalog of our titles and would support the screening of each others’ tapes when curators or artists came into Toronto.
