History edit
Trinity Square Video was founded 1971 in the basement of the Toronto Church of the Holy Trinity by artists for the purpose of making video equipment easily accessible during the 1970s, a time when basic equipment was prohibitively expensive for independent artists. Artists who have created work at or with the assistance of Trinity Square Video include: John Greyson, Lisa Steele, Ed Sinclair, Jacqueline Hoàng Nguyễn, Michael Balser, Kim Tomczak, Vera Frenkel and Barbara Sternberg.[1]
