George Barber Sometimes I have to stop making art in order to carry out essential maintenance.

Biographical details:

George Barber was born in Georgetown, Guyana in 1958. He studied at St Martins and the Slade Schools of Art, London. He was a founder member of ZG Magazine and a leading figure in the Scratch Video phenomenon of the 80s, which exploited newly available video-editing technologies and their potential for rhythmic-editing and moving-image collage. A pioneer of video art, his films have been shown in festivals and at venues across the world.
