50 artist led spaces across the world were asked to choose
the best art video they could think of, and get hold of. There
was no topic or other issue to relate to when selecting the
video, except that it was selected by the space or collective.
The video format was Pal and NTSC. The videos are no longer
than 30 min. Each space was asked to send a short description
of the video for documentation together with a short
description of the collective and the activities of the space.

The whole exhibition was organised in just over two month
through e mail, www and courier services. Apart from being
an international video screening, which focuses on artists
curating, Old Habits Die Hard researches and maps artist
collectives and networks and the communication between
them, raising issues about self-organisation and
selfrepresentation. Old Habits Die Hard talks about, how other
and alternative economies and values evolve and establish
themselves.

EXHIBITION
The videos received are installed according to the character
of the work. There is a wall projection and three monitors
installed in Norwich Gallery. Once a day a video compilation
will be screened. The exhibition will change from day to day.
On the monitors the audience will be able to choose what
they want to see. This dispatch is the guide to what is available.
