Wendy Clarke (b.1944) has spent her life working prolifically with the possibilities of the medium of video, including the use of participatory video – both live and recorded – to examine interpersonal relationships. Clarke’s projects and installations have been exhibited on television, in museums, galleries, and public places.

Wendy Clarke began her career as part of Tee Pee Video Space Troupe (1969–75), conceived by her mother, the experimental filmmaker Shirley Clarke. In the years since, she has produced numerous large-scale interactive video installations, projects, and tapes, including the Love Tapes (1977–present), Video Rotation (1983), The Link (1984), and One on One (1991–94), among many others. 

Her work has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council of the Arts, Rockefeller Foundation, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, California Arts Council, Arts in Corrections, Camarillo State Hospital, Annenberg Center, Irvine Foundation, and California Youth Authority. Her body of work is archived at The Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research.

Clarke’s ongoing lifetime project is Love Tapes, portraits of people talking about their personal experiences with love. Clarke lives on her donkey farm in Taos, New Mexico.
