TELEVISION: An Exhibition is a group show of works by MART artists, curated by Sarah Lundy at TACTIC in Cork, Ireland, and is based on Canadian theorist Marshall McLuhan's studies on media theory and its impact on society.

McLuhan coined the phrase 'the medium is the message' by which he proposed that the media itself primarily confers content of its own characteristics rather than the content which is transmitted through it. If McLuhan's theory stands, it has knock-on repercussions for artists use of technological media and their obsession with appropriation, found items and transformed objects, and overrides the availability of technology and objects to be imbued with alternative meaning and impact through altering context and content.

TELEVISION: An Exhibition is composed entirely of moving image work in a series of multi-tv screenings, projections and video installation, and the validity of content over medium is made evident in terms of artists distinct use of mediums, whilst paying respect to the medium as vehicle for content.

TELEVISION: An Exhibition considers the use of the medium of moving image in terms of 'the collective' with MART being a collective of new media artists.
