Guggenheim YouTube Art Exhibit

Watch the Guggenheim YouTube Art Exhibit Finalists [VIDEOS]

Out of 23,000 artistic video clips submitted to New York's Guggenheim museum through the YouTube Play program, 125 have been selected as finalists. Twenty of these videos will be part of an exhibit at the Guggenheim and associated museums around the world, and you can watch all the candidates online today.

The Guggenheim solicited submissions this summer; a submission could be anything from a music performance to a short film or a video game demonstration. More abstract forms were accepted, as well.

The shortlist will be reviewed by a panel that includes film director Darren Aronofsky, visual artist Takashi Murakami, recording artist Laurie Anderson, video artist Douglas Gordon and museum curator Nancy Spector. The 20 winners will go on display beginning October 21.

Here's the official introduction montage video, plus a couple of our favorite shortlist selections. Head over to the YouTube Play video channel to see the complete set. You can also join in the discussion about the videos by perusing YouTube's Twitter Wall for the competition - we're not able to provide a direct link, but you should be able to find it in the channel page.
