Cool Change and PS Art Space are pleased to present Video Rainbows, a group exhibition curated by Cassandra Tytler and Andrea Rassell—co-founders of the Moving Image Lab Perth (MILP)—and inspired by Jessie Scott’s documentary Rainbow Video (2023).

Video Rainbows explores the cultural phenomenon of now-defunct physical video shops and considers their influence on the artists who frequented them. The exhibition features a curated program of video works influenced by video store and film culture, presenting a selection of artists from WA with the Victorian artists featured in Scott’s documentary.
