GOING OUT GUIDE

By Richard F. SHEPARD

MUSIC VIDEO SHOW It is less than a year and a half since the rebuilt, modernized Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53d Street, opened to the public in May 1984. The overcrowding of those first few months has disappeared, but the museum is still thronged and it would be easy to miss a new exhibition devoted to one of the most modern of the arts, the music video. The two-and-a-half hour, 35-item ''Music Video: The Industry and its Fringes'' takes these commercial, promotional tools of the music industry from 1967 to the present, a period in which they have developed experimental image-process techniques that have made them into a staple of pop culture.
