Goldsmiths CCA in London is hosting a retrospective exhibition dedicated to the influential US media collective Paper Tiger Television. The show features a large-scale installation of a shattered television frame as its entry point, evoking themes of media critique and technological disruption central to the collective's work.
The exhibition highlights the enduring relevance of Paper Tiger Television's pioneering public-access cable activism from the 1980s and 90s. It connects their legacy of democratizing media production and critiquing corporate broadcast structures to contemporary concerns about digital media, disinformation, and the politics of representation, positioning their work as a crucial precursor to today's independent media landscape.
